Notes on using SJ-4 color × lters
• These filters are consumable items. Replace them when they
deteriorate or their colors fade.
• The heat generated from the flash head can warp the filters.
However, this will not affect their performance.
• Scratches on the filters will have no effect on performance unless the
filters fade in color.
• To remove dust or dirt, wipe the filter lightly with a soft, clean cloth.
Balancing light from the flash using color
compensation filters and color filters
When a color compensation Ö lter is attached to the SB-700 while
the camera's white balance is set to auto or × ash, Ö lter information is
automatically transmitted to the camera, and the camera's optimum
E
white balance is automatically adjusted to give the correct color
temperature.
• When a SJ-4 color filter is attached to the SB-700, set the camera's
white balance to auto, flash or direct sunlight.
• When using the SB-700 with a camera not equipped with Ö lter
detection (D2 series, D1 series, D200, D100, D80, D70 series, D60,
D50, D40 series), set the camera's white balance according to the
Ö lter in use while referring to the following table.
• For more details on white balance, see your camera user's manual.
