        Professional i-TTL (intelligent TTL) Speedlight: compatible with FX- and DX-format SLR cameras. Part of the Nikon Creative Lighting System, it offers total control over flash coverage.

        Centre-weighted, Even and Standard illumination patterns: Centre-weighted mode concentrates illumination to the centre of the frame, useful when using a telephoto lens. Even mode diffuses light evenly across the frame, useful when taking group shots. Standard mode offers a standard balance of power and light distribution.

        17-200mm auto zoom range: offers a 14mm zoom range when using built-in diffuser or Speedlight dome.

        Intuitive operation: boasts a large LCD screen, clear menu systems, conveniently placed controls and illuminated buttons that offer more comfortable operation in low light.

        Automatic detection of sensor format: automatically recognizes FX- or DX-format cameras.

        High-speed recycling time of 2.3 seconds when using LR6 NiMH batteries.

        AF-Assist illumination: compatible with Multi-CAM 3500 FX/DX AF sensor module.

        Bounce capability: rotates 180° horizontally to the right and left; tilts up to 90° and down to 7°.

        Thermal protection system: warns of excessive heat build up during high intensity firing.

        Hard-type incandescent and fluorescent color filters included.

        Automatic filter detection: Speedlight automatically adjusts the attached camera’s color temperature settings according to the color of the filter being used.

        Firmware can be upgraded via the storage media in the attached camera.
