119Technical Notes / Optional Accessories
Optional Flash Units (Speedlights)
Use the accessory shoe to mount optional fl ash units directly on
the camera without a sync cable. The accessory shoe is equipped
with a safety lock for Speedlights with a locking pin, such as the
SB-800, SB-600 and SB-400. Before attaching an optional fl ash
unit, remove the accessory shoe cover. The built-in fl ash will not
re when an optional Speedlight is attached.
When used with compatible fl ash units such as the optional SB-800 and SB-600 Speedlights
or SB-R200 wireless remote Speedlight, the D80 supports the advanced Nikon Creative
Lighting System (CLS), including i-TTL fl ash control (
141), FV lock (locks fl ash level; 92),
and Auto FP High-Speed Sync (synchronizes the fl ash and shutter at high shutter speeds).
With the built-in fl ash in commander mode, the D80 can be used to control remote SB-800,
SB-600, and SB-R200 fl ash units. See the Speedlight manual for details.
SB-800, SB-600, and SB-400 Speedlights
These high-performance Speedlights have Guide Numbers of 38/125 (35mm zoom head po-
sition), 30/98 (35mm zoom head position), and 21/69 respectively (m/ft, ISO 100, 20 °C/68 °F).
The fl ash head can be rotated through 90 ° above the horizontal for bounce-fl ash or close-up
photography. The SB-800 and SB-600 can also be rotated 180 ° left, and 90 ° right, and the
SB-800 can be rotated 7 ° below the horizontal. The SB-800 and SB-600 support auto power
zoom (24–105 mm and 24–85 mm, respectively), ensuring that the illuminating angle is ad-
justed in accord with lens focal length and have both a built-in wide panel that can be used
for an angle of 14 mm (the SB-800 also supports 17 mm) and an illuminator that can be used
when adjusting settings in the dark.
Use Only Nikon Flash Accessories
Use only Nikon Speedlights. Negative voltages or voltages over 250 V applied to the accessory shoe
could not only prevent normal operation, but damage the sync circuitry of the camera or fl ash. Before
using a Nikon Speedlight not listed in this section, contact a Nikon-authorized service representative
for more information.
Guide Number
To calculate the range of the fl ash at an ISO sensitivity of 100, divide the Guide Number by the aperture.
For example, the built-in fl ash has a Guide Number of 13 m or 42 ft. (ISO 100, 20 °C/68 °F); its range at an
aperture of f/5.6 is 13 ÷ 5.6 or about 2.3 meters (or in feet,42 ÷ 5.6 = about 7.5 ft). With Guide Numbers
of 38 and 30, the SB-800 and SB-600 respectively have ranges of about 6.8 and 5.4 meters (22.3 and 17.5
feet) at f/5.6 (35mm zoom head position).
The AS-15 Accessory Shoe Adapter
When the AS-15 accessory shoe adapter (available separately) is mounted on the camera accessory
shoe, fl ash accessories can be connected via a sync cable.
