Tips on Speedlight Care and Reference Information External power source Use of an optional external power source provides a stable power supply, increases the number of flashes and shortens recycling time. Nikon Highperformance Battery Pack SD-9 Power Bracket Unit SK-6/SK-6A Nikon DC Unit SD-7 Nikon Highperformance Battery Pack SD-8A • Batteries are required in the SB-5000 body even when an external power source is used. • Use of other external power source brands may cause accidents, or could damage the Speedlight components. Nikon cannot guarantee the Speedlight performance when used with non-Nikon products. • The flash panel and flash head may become hot if the flash is fired multiple times in quick succession. • When the SB-5000 is used with the SK-6/SK-6A, autofocus operation with the SB-5000's AF-assist illumination is not possible. • When used with the SD-8A or SK-6/SK-6A, the SB-5000 may fire using power provided only by the batteries in the SB-5000 and not from the SD-8A or SK-6/SK-6A. This is not a malfunction. H H-17
