SPEEDLIGHT SB-400
i-TTL Shoe Mount Flash
Compact and lightweight, the SB-400 provides i-TTL flash operation at an
affordable price. It offers a guide number of 30 (ISO 200, m), and effortless bounce
flash function. Although designed as a flash unit for entry-level digital SLR users, it is also
useful for D2 series digital camera users as a handy flash unit. In combination with cameras
compatible with Nikon Creative Lighting System the SB-400 is controlled in i-TTL and D40’s M
(manual) mode. Its flash head can be tilted in 4 steps, horizontal, 60, 75 and 90°, and has a flash shooting distance range
from 0.6m to 20m (depends on the ISO setting). Slow Sync, Red-eye Reduction and other flash modes can also be set on the
camera body. With the SB-400, users can easily enjoy brighter and more natural lighting for better flash pictures.
Creative Lighting Made Easy
Innovative Nikon technology has continuously revolutionized flash photography. Trailblazing innovations like Matrix
Balanced Fill-Flash, 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash, 5-Segment TTL Sensor, Distance Integration and Monitor
Pre-Flash have opened new territory in speedlight functionality. Nikon Speedlights let you shoot complex lighting
situations with confidence, so in dim light, or even where there’s no light at all, you can flex your creative muscles and
always be assured of great looking pictures.
3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash: The most
advanced automatic balanced fill-flash technique. The camera
precisely sets the appropriate flash output level using the
TTL
Multi Sensor which detects the monitor
pre-flashes the speedlight
flashes to ‘test’ the scene just before making the exposure.
Matrix Balanced Fill-Flash: In this technique, the
matrix meter adjusts exposure for the background and then the
flash exposure is controlled. This is done to balance the flash
illumination so that it doesn’t overpower the foreground subject.
Rear-Curtain Sync: Rear-curtain sync turns available light
into a stream of light that follows the flash-illuminated subject.
This is especially effective at slow shutter speeds.
Slow Sync: Extends the automatically controlled shutter speed
range, thus enabling
the background details to stand out.
Red-Eye Reduction: Red-eye reduction lamp lights up in
advance to contract the subject’s pupils, thus reducing the
appearance of red-eye.
FP High-Speed Sync: The flash output continues once the
shutter curtain opens until it is fully closed. This allows flash
synchronization with shutter speeds from 1/250 to 1/8000 sec.
AF-Assist Illuminator : Nikon AF Speedlights incorporates
an autofocus illuminator which projects an LED pattern of light on
the subject making it possible to take sharp autofocus pictures even
in total darkness.
