The Nikon Creative Lighting System supports Advanced Wireless Lighting and its
numerous possibilities for up to four i-TTL Speedlight groups controlled via the
master SB-800 Speedlight. This capability significantly enhances the value of
Nikon’s D2H
Nikon’s Creative Lighting System also offers i-TTL flash control, an evolution of
the highly regarded D-TTL system. Enjoy new features such as Flash Value Lock
(FV Lock), AUTO FP High Speed Sync, Flash Color Information Communication
and Wide-Area AF-Assist Illuminator for the D2

This new technology takes flash control
system precision to unprecedented levels.

Advanced Wireless Lighting

Thanks to Nikon’s Creative Lighting
System, Advanced Wireless Lighting (same
as “wireless multiple flash”) is as easy to
use as an on-camera Speedlight, enabling
professionals and advanced amateurs alike
to freely test the seemingly limitless cre­ative potential of the system. You can sepa-

rate i-TTL Speedlights into four groups
(comprised of the master* and three
remote i-TTL Speedlight groups), for com­prehensive control over scene lighting.
Independent flash mode settings (TTL,
Auto Aperture [Non-TTL Auto], Manual,
Repeating and Flash Cancel) and any-time
adjustment of flash output level compensa­tion values for each group can be con­trolled from the master.
There is no limit to the number of
Speedlights contained in each group, giving
you virtually absolute control over back­ground illumination.

Advanced Wireless Lighting procedure
(when TTL mode is selected for each Speedlight unit)

In Advanced Wireless Lighting, flash mode and other types
of information are transmitted to each remote unit in the
form of a series of low-level flashes from the master unit.
In TTL mode, the camera’s exposure metering sensor
detects Monitor Pre-flashes to determine each flash unit’s
flash output level.

AUTO FP High Speed Sync

This new mode offers ample fill-in flash
during shooting in bright conditions using
fast-aperture lenses, enabling effective blur
in the background. Once the mode is acti­vated, high-speed flash synchronization in
the camera makes available shutter speeds
that are faster than the camera’s own flash
sync speed.

Flash Value Lock (FV Lock)

Flash Value represents the degree of flash
exposure for the subject. FV Lock lets you
maintain the desired flash exposure during
zooming or even when recomposing a shot,
allowing you to concentrate on the scene’s
lighting.

Autofocus Speedlight

Wide-Area AF-Assist Illuminator

Compared to the other Speedlights, the
SB-800 and SB-600 emit AF-Assist
Illumination over a much wider area during
autofocus operation. This gives you autofo­cus shooting capability in dim lighting even
when you change the focus area with a
compatible camera.

Flash Color Information Communication

Color accuracy in digital SLR flash photog­raphy is higher than ever thanks to Nikon’s
Creative Lighting System. In Auto White

Color Filters

The SB-800 Speedlight ships with two filters developed
exclusively for digital cameras — one for incandescent
and the other for fluorescent lighting. The optional SJ-1
Color Filter Package, which contains 8 different colored
filters, is also available.

Without filter

Taking flash pictures under incandescent light with the white bal­ance set to “Flash” results in an orange-tinted background (left).
For natural color throughout the image, use the incandescent filter
and set white balance to “Incandescent” (right).

This Speedlight lets you use TTL automatic exposure, for wraparound
lighting of close-up subjects — free from distracting shadows. This is
made possible by two built-in flash modules which deliver full­surround illumination. The flash output balance (left:right, right:left)
can be set to 1:4. And for a viewfinder preview of the effect the flash
will have on the scene you’re preparing to shoot, there’s modeling

flash mode. Extremely accurate focus adjustment is supported by a
convenient focus illuminator, and a wide illlumination panel lets you
shoot flash-to-subject distances closer than 40mm.
The SB-29s provides an M1/32 flash output, which ensures accurate
exposure with current and future generations of digital cameras fea­turing high sensitivity.

key element to an efficient, effective digital
imaging workflow.

Nikon’s newly upgraded image-enhancement soft­ware affords you the ability to explore digital
imaging more in-depth, and grants you a high
degree of control via your personal computer.

Nikon Capture 4 (ver. 4.1)

A powerful postproduction tool, Nikon Capture 4 comprises
Nikon Capture 4 Editor and Nikon Capture 4 Camera
Control, along with the three elements (Transfer/Browser/
Viewer) of Nikon View.
Using these five components, you can transfer images to
your computer, view, edit, and even print them — all in a
single process. Nikon Capture 4 gives you comprehensive
control over the final quality of your Nikon Electronic
Format (NEF) image data.

You can change the instruc­tion set as many times as
you like without ever dis­turbing the original image’s

Nikon View

Bundled with Nikon digital
cameras, Nikon View sim­plifies image transfer and
sharing, while enabling
basic image manipulation
via your computer. And
while fundamental adjust­ments for NEF data such as
color balance, automatic
contrast, exposure and
white balance can be per­formed using Nikon View,
you’ll find Nikon Capture 4
software to be your most
versatile NEF processing
tool.

White Balance*

The tools in the White Balance palette
are used to adjust white balance for
NEF (RAW) images. White balance can
be adjusted by specifying the desired
color temperature or by sampling the
image for the gray point. You can
define white balance using a single
point or the average of an area.

Advanced RAW*

Many of the attributes of NEF (RAW)
image data can be altered or corrected
using the Advanced RAW feature.
Exposure Compensation, Sharpening,
Tone Compensation, Color Mode,
Saturation Setting and Hue Adjustment
combine to give you a high degree of
control over image quality.

Vignette Control*

This palette’s tools are used to correct
for loss of marginal illumination, which
causes a drop in brightness at the
edges of a photograph. Vignette Control
is most effective with images captured
using a D-/G-Nikkor lens, and at larger
apertures.

Image Dust Off*

This function compares NEF (RAW)
photographs with a reference image
created with the same camera to
reduce the effects of any dust that may
be present on the low-pass filter pro­tecting the camera’s image sensor.

Digital DEE™

Digital DEE (Dynamic Exposure
Extender) reveals details that are
obscured by shadows or highlights,
correcting for underexposure in backlit
subjects or shaded areas of images and
overexposure in brightly lit areas.

Note: Digital DEE™ is a technology developed by
Applied Science Fiction.

Curves

Use the Curves palette to adjust the
contrast, tone (brightness) level and
color balance of captured images, to
make maximum use of the tone range
and color gamut offered by a particular
output device. This high-precision fea­ture lets you make adjustments to spe­cific portions of the tone range while
referring to the histogram display.

Nikon Capture 4’s Editor component provides you with a broad variety of

image adjustment tools, some of which can only be applied to NEF (RAW) data.

Noise Reduction

Random noise that appears in digital
camera images — particularly at high­er sensitivity (ISO) settings — can be
effectively minimized using the Color
Noise Reduction function. Edge Noise
Reduction makes outlines more distinct
by reducing the noise along the edges

*These features can only be applied to NEF (RAW)

Other handy, innovative features

• LCH Editor enables editing of
Luminosity (brightness), Chroma
(color saturation) and Hue.

• Color Booster allows simple enhance­ment of overall color saturation
according to the type of subject.

• The Color Balance palette offers sim­ple controls for adjustment of overall
brightness, contrast and color bal­ance for the entire image.

• Using Unsharp Mask, you can
enhance image sharpness by increas­ing the contrast of the edges of the
image, while leaving other areas
untouched.

• Size/Resolution lets you specify the
final output image size.

• Compatibility with Color Modes Ia and
IIIa of the Nikon D70.

Nikon Capture 4 Camera Control

Once you connect a D1-series digital SLR
(IEEE 1394), the D2H (USB Hi-Speed) or
the D100/D70 (USB) to your computer, the
Camera Control component of the Nikon
Capture 4 provides you with remote control
from your computer of virtually every
aspect of camera operation. Pictures taken
with the camera will be stored on your
computer’s hard disk as opposed to the
camera’s memory card. This turns your
computer’s hard disk into the equivalent of
a large-capacity media card — especially
valuable when performing high-volume
shooting.

Integrated Coating. Close­up lenses numbers 0, 1
and 2 are recommended
for lenses with a focal
length up to 55mm.
Numbers 3T, 4T, 5T and
6T are two-element
achromatic lenses that
ensure a high image qual­ity. 3T and 4T work best
with lenses from 85mm
to 200mm, and 5T and 6T
with lenses from 70mm
to 210mm. Numbers 5T
and 6T have a front
attachment size of 62mm;
the front attachment size

for all other numbers is
52mm. For close-up lens­es, the higher the lens
numbers, the closer you
can focus. For the prime
lens, the longer the focal
length, the greater the
reproduction ratio you
can obtain. Used singly or
in combination, close-up
attachment lenses open
the door to numerous
interesting close-up
effects. An attractive
option for photographers
just getting into the world
of close-ups.

Filters for Color and B&W Photography

Circular Polarizing Filters

By reducing the light
reflected from non-metallic
surfaces, polarizing filters
allow direct shooting
through glass windows and
reduce the glare from
water surfaces and sunlit
trees and grass. They are
the only filters that darken
the sky in color photogra­phy without affecting color
balances.

Nikon circular polarizing
filters come in a rotating
mount to enable different
angles for different degrees
of polarization, and effects
may be seen in the
viewfinder as the filter is
rotated. They do not inter­fere with the autofocus or
auto exposure operation of
the Nikon AF SLRs.

Skylight L1BC

While invisible to the naked
eye, ultraviolet light can
reduce contrast and detail.
The colorless UV filters not
only produce sharper, non­hazy B&W prints, they cor­rect the blue or violet tints
that may occur with color
film. The L37C is multilay-

Neutral Density ND2S,
ND4, ND400

Since the ND filters sub­tract all light equally, they
have no effect on color bal­ance. Instead, they reduce
the amount of light enter­ing the camera. ND filters
are used to control depth of
field by allowing a larger

er coated to further reduce
reflection and the L39 is
good for B&W prints of
mountain or beach scenes.
Both may be used as lens
protectors. The multilayer
coated Skylight L1BC also
cuts UV light and is often
left on the lens to protect
it.

the shutter speed. They
also prevent overexposure
when lighting conditions
are extremely bright and
when shooting beyond the
aperture/shutter speed
range possible for the film
speed in use. For shooting
the sun, the strongest
ND400 is recommended.

aperture without changing

Filters for B&W Photography

Yellow Y44, Y48, Y52

Yellow filters absorb both
the blue and ultraviolet
light, so that skies appear
darker in a B&W print.
They are particularly useful
for heightening contrast.

Mild filter Y44 and medium
filter Y48 are best suited
for portraits and snap
shots. Y52 offers the
strongest effects and is
commonly used for land­scape photography.

Orange O56, Red R60

The O56 and R60 offer
greater contrast between
sky and subjects than
Y-series filters. The O56

The R60 subtracts all col­ors of the spectrum except
red and is often used with
infrared film for special

effects.
subtracts green as well as
blue and ultraviolet.

Soft Focus Filters No. 1, No. 2

The Soft Focus Filter No.
1 is good for portraits
and gives a "romantic"
style haze to images. The
No. 2 filter is stronger
and produces a fog-like
effect in landscapes, or

26 27

highlights a small subject
surrounded by dark
space. Both filters come
in 52mm, 62mm and
72mm sizes to fit the
front thread of a Nikkor
lens. For the No. 1 filter,
77mm is also available.

Green X0, X1

Green filters subtract red
and blue and let through
green and yellow. Although
both X0 and X1 absorb the
same amount of blue, the

X0 absorbs less red than

the X1, so its effect is

milder. The X0 is used for

general-purpose shooting,

while the X1 is most effec-

tive for portraits.

Filters for Color Photography

Amber A2, A12

Because they subtract blue, amber filters
correct the bluish colorations that some­times affects daylight film. The mild A2 fil­ter warms scenes shot on cloudy days or in
the shade. The deeper colored A12 is used
with tungsten film for outdoor shooting in
fair weather.

Slip-in Circular Polarizing Filters

Designed for use in combination with tele­photo lenses equipped with a slip-in filter
holder, these filters reduce glare from non­metallic surfaces such as glass and water.
Simply turn the rotating ring on the holder
to find the most effective position. The fil­ters do not affect autofocus or auto expo­sure features.

Neutral Color NC Filters

Available in attachment sizes 39mm,
46mm, 52mm, 58mm, 62mm, 72mm and
77mm, these neutral-color filters serve as
lens protectors. They do not affect color
balance. In addition, multilayer coating
prevents light reflection inside the glass,
thus improving color rendition.

Gelatin Filter Holders AF-3, AF-4

Accommodate gelatin or glass filters to thickness of
approx. 2mm. The AF-3 is used with 3-inch square
gelatin filters and Nikkor lenses having an attachment
size of 52/62/67/72/77mm. The AF-4 is used with
4-inch square gelatin filters and Nikkor lenses having
an attachment size of 52/62/67/72/77/82/95mm.
Nikon also offers two dedicated hood options — the
HN-36 for the AF-3 and the HN-37 for the AF-4.
Several hoods of equal diameter can be stacked,
depending on the focal length of the lens in use.

Gelatin Filter Holders AF-1, AF-2

These enable standard 75mm gelatin filters to be
used with many Nikkor lenses, the AF-1 for 52mm
attachment size and the AF-2 for 72mm attach­ment size.

72-62 Filter Adapter Ring UR-1

This adapter enables a filter with an attachment
size of 72mm to be used with any Nikkor lens with
an attachment size of 62mm.

F ilters

Blue B2, B8, B12

Blue filters subtract red and thus cool down
colorations. B2 is a mild filter used with
daylight film to remove the reddish tinge
from sunrise or sunset shots. The medium­blue B8 corrects color when clear flashbulbs
are used with daylight film. B12 is a color
conversion filter which naturalizes the red
cast produced by photofloods when shooting
indoors with daylight film.

These cases keep lenses
safe from dust, dampness
and shocks.
Cylindrical Case (CL): The hand­some black leatherette finish
is complemented by soft,
plush lining.
Trunk Case (CT): A durable
trunk case is supplied with
larger lenses including
bright super-telephoto
lenses.

Soft Pouch (No. 58-62, CL-S1/
S2/S3/S4/M1/M2/L1/L2):

Accommodates a variety of
lenses of different focal
lengths.

Lens hoods minimize stray
light, helping reduce flare
and eliminate “ghost”
images; they also protect the
lens.
Screw-in (HN, HR): Screws onto
the front of the lens; metal
type available for extra
strength; rubber type folds
back over the lens when not
in use.
Bayonet (HB): Twist-lock
mounting for extra
security.
Snap-on (HS): Snaps onto the
front of the lens with a
spring-type retainer ring; the
mounting can be convenient­ly reversed for storage.
Slip-on (HK): Slips over the
front of the lens; tightened
with knurled screw and retain­er ring; used with wide-zoom
and ultra-wide lenses.

To protect the front and rear
portions of a lens from dust,
fingerprints and scratches,
Nikon makes lens caps in
hard plastic, metal and
leather. Body caps are also
available to protect the mir­ror box and reflex mirror
when no lens is mounted on
the camera body.

The lens strap LN-1 is easily
adjustable for carrying various
telephoto lenses, even large,
heavy ones, comfortably on a
shoulder. Compatible with auto­focus lenses: AF-S 300/2.8D,
AF-S/AF-I 400/2.8D, AF-S 500/4D
and AF-S 600/4D; and manual
lenses: 200/2, 300/2.8, 400/2.8,
400/3.5, 500/4P, 600/5.6, 800/5.6
and 50~300/4.5.

Camera Cases

Made to fit camera and
standard lens only or a variety
of camera-lens-accessory
combinations including
telephotos and motor drives,
Nikon camera cases not only
keep valuable equipment clean,
safe and ready to get at, they
look good, too. From classic
black to stylish custom models,
every Nikon case is carefully
designed and manufactured to
the same precise standards as
all Nikon equipment, and will
provide long years of service.
Four types are available:

Semi-Soft Case: A two-piece

design, this case is more pli­able and is textured in appear­ance.

Soft Case: Foldable when not in

use, these cases are usually
one-piece in design and are
more for convenience than
protection.

amera C ases/S traps

Blimp Case: Foldable, this case is

useful to dampen shutter/motor

C

drive noise or to protect the
camera/lens from freezing
temperatures. Compatible
with any Nikon SLR.

Speedcase: With its accessory kit

on the outside, the speedcase
offers maximum convenience
when carrying camera/tele­photo lens and small acces­sories.

padded on the inside, it takes
equipment safely through the
toughest traveling conditions.
