Overview
The high-performance SB-900 is the successor to the Nikon SB-800, and offers a large guide number of 34/48 (ISO 100/200, m) and an array of creative flash functions. It is designed to prioritize usability in combination with Nikon digital cameras compatible with Nikon’s Creative Lighting System. It provides a wide 17-200 mm auto zoom range (24-105 mm with SB-800), three illumination patterns, a newly designed operation system and LCD panel, and AF-Assist illumination compatible with new-generation AF sensors.
The SB-900 also features an improved booster circuit for high-speed recycle time. Additionally, firmware can be uploaded via a Nikon digital camera — a world’s first* for flash units. The SB-900 serves as a solid base for the Nikon Creative Lighting System when used in combination with current Nikon digital SLRs, and it supports Advanced Wireless Lighting (multiple wireless flash units) as a master or a remote Speedlight, inviting users to explore the many creative possibilities.
*The world’s first flash unit capable of firmware updates via a digital SLR camera as of July 1, 2008 (according to research conducted by NIKON CORPORATION).
