Bouncing the light for beautiful indoor images Pictures can appear very different and achieve various expressions depending on how you manipulate the light. But lighting a shot is not at all difficult with the SB-300 Speedlight. Its flash head can be set up to 120 degrees upward allowing you to bounce light off ceiling or wall to endow a softer, more natural look to your subject. You can easily control the lighting to capture a beautiful indoor portrait creatively. Compact and lightweight design for great portability With its compact and lightweight design, comfortable portability is ensured even when attached to a camera. The SB-300 is certain to expand your enjoyment of shooting pictures in a variety of scenes. Easy operation even for novices Attach the SB-300 to a camera supporting Nikon Creative Lighting System (CLS) or a COOLPIX model supporting i-TTL flash control, and switch the power on. This is all you have to do to enjoy flash photography. Thanks to Nikon's highly accurate i-TTL flash, the amount of light output is automatically and appropriately controlled, achieving high-quality flash shots reliably. Compatible with readily available AAA-size batteries The SB-300 uses two AAA-size alkaline or NiMH batteries which are readily available anywhere, so you'll never run out of power.   Specifications   Electronic construction Automatic Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) and series circuitry Guide number (20°C/68°F) 18/59 (ISO 100, m/ft) Angle of coverage Covers angle of view of 27 mm lens (FX format) or 18 mm lens (DX format) Effective flash range (i-TTL) 0.6 m to 20 m (2 ft to 66 ft); varies with ISO sensitivity, bounce angle, and aperture Options available using camera controls Flash control mode: i-TTL, manual Flash mode: Fill flash (front-curtain sync), front-curtain with slow sync, rear- curtain sync, and rear-curtain with slow sync Bounce angle Flash rotates vertically up to 120° with stops where the flash is pointing directly ahead and at 60°, 75°, 90°, and 120° Device on/off Power switch used to turn SB-300 on and off Power source Two AAA alkaline or NiMH batteries Flash-ready light Charging complete: Lights Warning: Blinks Flash duration Lights for about 1/1650 s when fired at full power Batter endurance and flash recycling time*1 Battery type Minimum recycling time*2 Endurance*3/recycling time*2 Alkaline Approx. 4.0 s 70 or more uses/4.0-30 s NiMH Approx. 3.5 s 110 or more uses/3.5-30 s Mounting foot lock lever Locking pin prevents accidental detachment Other options Thermal cut-out, firmware update*4 Dimensions (W x H x D) Approx. 57.4 x 65.4 x 62.3 mm (2.3 x 2.6 x 2.5 in.)
