Functions that are set on the camera

Auto FP High-Speed Sync (kD-55)

The SB-900 automatically fires at faster shutter speeds than the camera’s sync shutter speed.

FV Lock (Flash Value Lock) (kD-55)

Since it is possible to lock in the flash exposure level for the subject, you can alter picture composition while keeping the brightness of the subject constant.

Slow-Sync (kD-55)

The flash is controlled at a slow shutter speed to obtain the correct exposure for both the main subject and background in low-light situations.

Red-Eye Reduction flash mode/Red-Eye Reduction Slow-Sync (kD-56)

Red-eye effect, which causes the subject’s eyes to appear red in color photographs, is reduced.

Rear-Curtain flash sync (kD-56)

Rear-curtain flash sync creates a picture in which the blur of a moving subject appears behind the subject and not in front. In this mode, the flash fires just before the rear curtain starts to close.

Support functions

Power zoom function (kD-57)

Automatically adjusts the zoom position to match the lens focal length.

Setting the ISO sensitivity (kD-60)

The ISO sensitivity is automatically set based on information from the camera.
