Nikon Speedlight SB-900
 
The SB-900 i-TTL Speedlight leads the Nikon Creative Lighting System
delivering the portability, power and versatility to support any
photographer’s creative lighting imagination.
The SB-900 is a high-performance Speedlight developed as the successor
to the hugely successful Nikon SB-800. Practical functionality was
emphasized in designing the SB-900, especially evident when used with
Nikon digital SLR cameras compatible with the Nikon Creative Lighting
System. It provides a wide 17-200 mm auto zoom range (expanded from the
SB-800’s 24-105mm), three illumination patterns, newly designed,
streamlined operation with a full-information LCD panel, and AF-Assist
illumination compatible with new-generation AF sensors.
The SB-900 has an improved booster circuit for high-speed recycle time.
In addition, firmware can be uploaded via a Nikon digital SLR camera—a
world’s first* for flash units, assuring that the SB-900 can accept
technological advancements. The SB-900 serves as the new core for the
Nikon Creative Lighting System when used in combination with current
Nikon digital SLRs, and it supports Advanced Wireless Lighting as a
master or a remote Speedlight, inviting photographers to explore the
many creative possibilities.
Nikon’s Flagship Creative Lighting System Speedlight:
Powerful and versatile SB-900 works as a stand-alone flash, featuring
wireless operation as a Commander or wireless remote light source.
Control up to three remote Speedlight groups and an unlimited number of compatible Speedlights:
The SB-900's Wireless Commander Mode offers wireless control at the
master Speedlight position. Four wireless channel options allow you to
manage wireless conflicts in multiple photographer environments. Streamlined controls and menus:
The Rotary Select Dial sets key flash functions quickly—a prominent
Master and Remote control switch simplifies wireless operation. FX/DX format identification: Automatic FX/DX switching optimizes light distribution angle. Expanded Auto Power Zoom Coverage: The SB-900 provides zoom coverage from 17-200mm in the FX-format and 12-200mm coverage in the DX-format. Choose from 3 light distribution patterns:
Improve light quality by selecting Standard for general illumination,
Center-weighted for portraits, or Even for groups or interiors. User-friendly firmware updating: Allows uploading of performance enhancement developments to the SB-900 with select Nikon digital SLR cameras.
Color gel filter identification: The
SB-900 automatically identifies mounted color gel filters and adjusts
the camera’s auto white-balance setting with select Nikon digital SLR
cameras. Flash Tube Overheat Protection: An added measure of safety is provided for sustained high-speed bursts. Drip-proof mounting foot cover (Water Guard): for enhanced moisture protection (optional).
