Using The Sb-800 With The Coolpix - Nikon SB-800 Instruction Manual

Using the SB-800 with the COOLPIX

For COOLPIX cameras, such as the COOLPIX 8800 and
4500, having an accessory shoe (hot-shoe) or TTL
multiple flash terminal: When more powerful illumination is
required or when performing multiple flash, it is
recommended to connect the SB-800 or another Nikon
Speedlight compatible with TTL auto flash to the COOLPIX.
Auto flash operation is possible by setting the SB-800's flash
mode to TTL auto flash. The flash output level is controlled
by detecting signals from the camera to determine when to
start and stop firing. This is controlled by Standard i-TTL
flash operation with COOLPIX cameras compatible with i-TTL
and by Non-TTL operation with other COOLPIX cameras.
• For connection to COOLPIX cameras featuring hot shoe contacts
• Optional accessories such as the Multi-Flash Bracket Unit
• For details, see your camera's instruction manual.
34
such as the COOLPIX 8800, attach the Speedlight directly to the
accessory shoe.
SK-E900 should be used for connection with COOLPIX cameras
having a TTL multiple flash terminal but no hot-shoe contacts.
Please note that wireless multiple flash using the
COOLPIX's built-in flash as a master flash unit and the
SB-800 as a remote flash unit cannot be performed.
