Features of the SB-900

The SB-900 is a high-performance CLS-compatible Speedlight with a large guide number of 34/48 (ISO 100/200, m) (111.5/157.5, ft.) (at the 35 mm zoom position in Nikon FX format with standard illumination pattern, 20°C/68°F.)

•Combined with a CLS-compatible camera, the SB-900 can easily perform various types of flash operations, such as i-TTL auto flash and wireless multiple flash (kD-39).

•Three types of illumination patterns (standard, center-weighted and even) are available to match different shooting preferences.

•FX/DX selection enables the setting of the light distribution angle in accordance with the camera’s image area between FX- and DX-formats, and provides effective and high-quality lighting.

•Power zoom function automatically adjusts the zoom position to match the lens focal length from 17 mm to 200 mm (in FX format)/12 mm to 200 mm (in DX format). When the built-in wide-flash adapter is used or the Nikon Diffusion Dome is attached, the zoom position is automatically set to match a wideangle lens with much shorter focal length.

•Bounce flash (kD-26) or close-up flash photography can be easily performed (kD-30).

•Custom functions are provided to allow for various settings (kC-20).
