Optional Flash Units (Speedlights) C Notes on Optional Speedlights Refer to the documentation provided with Speedlight for details. If the Speedlight supports the Creative Lighting System, refer to the section on CLS-compatible digital SLR cameras. The D60 is not included in the "digital SLR" category in the SB-80DX, SB-28DX, and SB-50DX manuals. The shutter will synchronize with an external flash at speeds of 1/200s or slower. i-TTL flash control can be used at ISO sensitivities between 100 and 1600. Higher values may not produce the desired results at some ranges or apertures. If the flash-ready indicator blinks in the viewfinder for about three seconds after a photograph is taken in i-TTL or Non-TTL auto mode, the flash has fired at full power and the photograph may be underexposed. The SB-400, SB-800, and SB-600 provide red-eye reduction, while the SB-800, SB-600, and SU-800 provide AF-assist illumination (the SU-800 does not provide AF-assist illumination in close-up mode). Auto power zoom is available only with SB-800 and SB-600 Speedlights. In the following modes, the maximum aperture (minimum f-number) varies with ISO sensitivity (A 53). e, g, h, i, j, l, a modes: ISO sensitivity 100 200 400 800 1600 Maximum aperture (minimum f-number) 4 4.8 5.6 6.7 8 k mode: ISO sensitivity Maximum aperture (minimum f-number) 100 200 400 800 1600 5.6 6.7 8 9.5 11 For each one-step increase in sensitivity (e.g., from 200 to 400), aperture is stopped down by half an f/-stop. If the maximum aperture of the lens is smaller than given above, the maximum value for aperture will be the maximum aperture of the lens. When TTL Remote Cord SC-17, 28, or 29 is used for off-camera flash photography in i-TTL mode, correct exposure may not be achieved with i-TTL Balanced Fill-Flash control. We recommend that you select standard i-TTL flash control. Take a test shot and view the results in the monitor. In i-TTL mode, use the flash panel or bounce adapter provided with the Speedlight. Do not use other panels such as diffusion panels, as this may produce incorrect exposure. Optional Accessories 154

Notes on Optional Speedlights
Refer to the documentation provided with Speedlight for details. If the Speedlight supports the
Creative Lighting System, refer to the section on CLS-compatible digital SLR cameras. The D60 is not
included in the “digital SLR” category in the SB-80DX, SB-28DX, and SB-50DX manuals.
The shutter will synchronize with an external flash at speeds of
1
/
200
s or slower.
i-TTL flash control can be used at ISO sensitivities between 100 and 1600. Higher values may not
produce the desired results at some ranges or apertures. If the flash-ready indicator blinks in the
viewfinder for about three seconds after a photograph is taken in i-TTL or Non-TTL auto mode, the
flash has fired at full power and the photograph may be underexposed.
The SB-400, SB-800, and SB-600 provide red-eye reduction, while the SB-800, SB-600, and SU-800
provide AF-assist illumination (the SU-800 does not provide AF-assist illumination in close-up mode).
Auto power zoom is available only with SB-800 and SB-600 Speedlights.
In the following modes, the maximum aperture (minimum f-number) varies with ISO sensitivity

For each one-step increase in sensitivity (e.g., from 200 to 400), aperture is stopped down by half an
f/-stop. If the maximum aperture of the lens is smaller than given above, the maximum value for
aperture will be the maximum aperture of the lens.
When TTL Remote Cord SC-17, 28, or 29 is used for off-camera flash photography in i-TTL mode,
correct exposure may not be achieved with i-TTL Balanced Fill-Flash control. We recommend that
you select standard i-TTL flash control. Take a test shot and view the results in the monitor.
In i-TTL mode, use the flash panel or bounce adapter provided with the Speedlight. Do not use other
panels such as diffusion panels, as this may produce incorrect exposure.
