Nikon Speedlight SB-5000

[Product details]

- Compatible with Nikon Creative Lighting System when used in combination with D5 or D500
- Equipped with the world's first "cooling system"
- Uses a hard-type color filter that is durable, heat-resistant, and easy to use

◆ Compatible with Nikon Creative Lighting System, i-TTL flash control, advanced wireless lighting (radio control/optical control), FV lock shooting
Color temperature information transmission, auto FP high-speed sync shooting, multi-point AF assist light, modeling flash, unified flash control, etc.
A wide variety of speedlight photography is possible (available functions may be limited depending on the camera).

◆Equipped with the world's first* "cooling system" that reduces heat generation inside the flash head and prevents overheating of the light-emitting panel due to continuous light emission.
The number of continuous flashes that can be emitted has been greatly improved.
*Among clip-on flashes, including Speedlites. As of January 6, 2016.

◆The rotary multi-selector has a direct button function, improving operability.
Frequently used settings such as [Firing mode], [Illumination angle] and [Flash compensation/Light output] can be configured.
It also uses an (eye) button similar to that used on a camera.
The functions that can be set according to the setting status are displayed in a list on the (eye)menu screen, allowing quick setting.

◆You can choose from three light distribution types: standard light distribution, center-weighted light distribution, and uniform light distribution, depending on the shooting scene.
It automatically detects between FX and DX formats and automatically switches to the corresponding light distribution.

◆Uses a hard type color filter (for fluorescent lights/incandescent bulbs) that is durable, heat resistant, and easy to use (included).
It identifies the color filter attached and transmits information to the camera to automatically set the optimal white balance.
