A new mid range Speedlight flash compatible with the D70 and D2H Creative Lighting System compatible cameras. Featuring Nikon's latest i-TTL monitor pre flash metering technology the SB-600 offers a powerful but attractively priced main flash for general photographic situations. The SB-600 also offers fully automatic exposure control when used in groups with other SB-600 Speedlights controlled either by a Master SB-800 or the new 'Commander' function of the new Nikon D70. Easy to use with simplified buttons and packed with practical functions to meet the lighting needs of the most creative digital photographer.

Auto FP High-Speed Sync enables the use of fill-flash even in bright daylight with wide aperture settings, achieving outstanding results and new creative possibilities, including the effective blurring for of out-of-focus background elements. An optional Colour Filter Set SJ-1 is also available, allowing imaginative shooting to be pushed even further.

White balance is optimised through the use of flash colour information obtained by the Speedlight. The SB-600 also features FV Lock, which gives the user the convenience of being able to maintain the measured flash value while re-composing the shot to achieve the appropriate flash output for the subject.

Its uncomplicated operation is made simpler by an easy-to-view LCD with only six buttons, each of which is backlit and simple to understand.

The Nikon Speedlight SB-600 also delivers plenty of style, both in its compact dimensions and a triangular motif consistent with the Nikon D-SLR theme.
