Professional i-TTL Speedlight compatible with Nikon
FX and DX format SLRs, and part of the Nikon Creative Lighting
System. This powerful Speedlight offers photographers extensive
creative opportunities for their flash photography. Three
illumination patterns - Centre-weighted, Even and Standard - provide
total control over flash coverage and it covers a class-leading auto
zoom range of 17-200mm in just 1.2 seconds. Advanced features
include a booster circuit that enables high-speed recycling using
four AA-type batteries and a built-in thermal protection system to
warn of excessive heat build up. The SB-900 can automatically detect
the presence of a fluorescent or incandescent color filter and
transmit this information to the attached camera’s white balance
setting, and its firmware can be upgraded via the camera body.
