Nikon SB-600 Speedlight Flash

The Nikon Speedlight SB-600 is an impressive companion to the renowned SB-800 for the serious photographer; it serves as a solid base for the Nikon Creative Lighting System when used in combination with the Nikon D2H and D70 digital SLR.

When used in combination with the D2H or D70, the Speedlight SB-600 supports Advanced Wireless Lighting as a remote light, allowing the positioning of multiple flashes to significantly extend creative possibilities. To assist in such situations, the Speedlight SB-600 also has two Ready Lights - located on both the left and right of the front, they can be easily seen from a distance. The SB-600 can also emit an audible alert for further assistance.

Auto FP High-Speed sync enables the use of Fill-Flash even in bright daylight with wide aperture settings for the achievement of effective blurring for out-of-focus background elements. An optional color filter is also available, allowing imaginative shooting to be pushed even further.

Modeling flash can be employed to preview lighting effects and white balance is optimized through the use of data obtained by the Speedlight. Additionally, the Speedlight SB-600 offers an FV lock, which gives the user the convenience of being able to retain the desired flash value through a change in composure before taking the shot.

It also offers uncomplicated operation made simpler by an easy-to-view LCD with only six buttons - each of which are backlit and simple to understand.

As for style, the Nikon Speedlight SB-600 has compact dimensions and a triangular motif consistent with the Nikon D-SLR theme.

The Nikon Speedlight SB-600 comes complete with a Speedlight stand and a soft case, while two flash cables (the SC-29 and SC-28) and the Color Filter Set (SJ-1) are available as options.
