■■■ Using external power sources Connecting to an external power source To use an external power source, remove the cover and connect its power cord to the SB-800's external power source terminal. • Do not use the power cord SC-16 when connecting the SB-800 to the Nikon DC Unit SD-7; use the SC-16A instead. • Using external power sources made by another manufacturer is not recommended.

Using external power sources
Connecting to an external power source
To use an external power source, remove the cover
and connect its power cord to the SB-800’s external
power source terminal.
•
Do not use the power cord SC-16 when connecting the
SB-800 to the Nikon DC Unit SD-7; use the SC-16A instead.
•
Using external power sources made by another
manufacturer is not recommended.
Specifications
∗
1 With AA-type alkaline-manganese batteries in the SB-800.
∗
2 With the same type of batteries in both the external power source and the SB-800.
∗
3 When fired at an interval of 120 seconds.
•
The above data may vary due to variations in performance or whether fresh or old
batteries are used.
•
In rare cases, when firing the modeling illuminator with the SD-8A or SK-6/SK-6A
attached, the SB-800 may be powered by its own batteries, and the external power
source does not operate. This is not a malfunction.
