Nikon autofocus speedlight SB-900 Manual

NIKON'S EXCLUSIVE BUILT-IN

I-TTL FLASH SYSTEM WITH

WIRELESS CAPABILITIES WITH

THE D700, D300, D300S, D7000,

AND D90 DIGITAL SLRS

1. The Wireless Flash Commander mode option can be selected

within the Custom Settings menu under the built-in ﬂash

option of the D700, D300, D300S, D7000, and D90 cameras.

D700 – Custom Setting: e3

D300 – Custom Setting: e3

D300S – Custom Setting: e3

D7000 – Custom Setting: e3

D90 – Custom Setting: e2

2. When you enter the Commander mode, the built-in ﬂash,

Group A and Group B are all activated and set to TTL

with zero exposure compensation. In this scenario, the

built-in ﬂash will send a pre-ﬂash signal for the remote

units to ﬁre, as well as trigger the remote Speedlights and

factor into the lighting scheme and ﬁnal exposure.

3. Flash compensation can be adjusted for Groups A and B, as

well as the built-in ﬂash. Press the camera's Multi-selector

right or left to move into the Mode or Compensation windows

for the built-in ﬂash and both Groups. Use the up and down

arrows with the Multi-selector to set the desired values.

4. The built-in ﬂash, as well as the A and B Groups, can be set to

ﬁre and be factored into the exposure, or turned off individually,

based on your lighting requirements. Toggle the Multi-selector

to the right to enter the Mode window for the item you would

like to turn off. Toggle the Multi-selector down until you see

the dashed lines. This means that the built-in ﬂash or selected

Speedlight will NOT ﬁre.*

*Note: Although you may turn off the built-in ﬂash from being

calculated into the exposure, the built-in ﬂash unit must stay in

the up position, as it will still send the pre-ﬂash signal to control

the remote units.

Once you have set the Commander mode as desired,

be sure that the channel you have selected matches

the channel set on the remote units. Also, be sure to press

the "OK" button to conﬁrm and set the Commander mode.

Note: Wireless Flash Commander Mode works in only P, S, A or M

and is not available in Scene Modes. The D70/D70s Commander

mode operation communicates only in Channel 3/Group A.
