•Guide numbers in tables above are for when the SB-900 is mounted to the D3 camera and with 1/500 sec. shutter speed.

•Guide number with Auto FP High-Speed Sync varies depending on the camera’s shutter speed. For example, when the shutter speed is changed from 1/500 sec. to 1/1000 sec., the guide number decreases 1 EV. The faster the shutter speed, the smaller the guide number.

•BA: With the Nikon Diffusion Dome attached

•WP: With the wide-flash adapter in place
