Featuring i-TTL (intelligent-through-the-lens) flash control technology, Nikon’s
versatile SB-600 and SB-800 Speedlights deliver automatic balance fill-flash
and advanced wireless lighting capabilities for outstanding results and creative
possibilities. They are also seamlessly compatible with the D80 and D200’s
built-in speedlight. The SB-600 effectively integrates with the SB-800, both
individually and in arrangements of multiple SB-600/800 speedlights, offering
consistent i-TTL control for automatic and accurate lighting for creative and
complex situations. Designed for a variety of users ranging from experienced
and amateur photographers to beginning enthusiasts, they incorporates a host
of features designed to make flash photography simple, accurate and creative.
Photographers using the SB-800 as the Controller can employ up to three groups
of compatible Speedlights, with any quantity of compatible SB-600 and SB-800
speedlights within each of the three groups, to achieve Advanced Wireless i-TTL
exposure control. Most major functions of the SB-600 can be controlled remotely by the master SB-800. The SB-600 can be
remotely controlled either in i-TTL mode or manual mode for maximum creativity.
