Flash photography with color filters
Balancing light from the flash using color filters
■
When using SB-900 with a camera equipped with fi lter detection
(such as D3 series, D700, D90)
• When a color filter is attached to the SB-900 while the camera's white balance
is set to AUTO or FLASH, filter information is automatically transmitted to the
camera, and the camera's optimum white balance is automatically adjusted to
give the correct color temperature.
■
When using SB-900 with a camera not equipped with fi lter
detection (such as D2 series, D200, F6)
• Set the camera's white balance according to the filter in use.
