Main functions Flash modes and functions on the SB-900 i-TTL mode (kD-2) The camera controls the SB SB-900's flash output level by measuring the light reflected from the subject when the SB-900 fires a series of monitor pre-flashes. B Auto-Aperture flash mode (kD-5) The SB-900 controls the flash output level by measuring the flash illumination reflected back from the subject using the sensor for Non-TTL auto flash and combining this with information from the camera, such as the ISO sensitivity and the aperture setting. About the SB-900 Non-TTL Auto flash mode (kD-8) The SB-900 controls the flash output level by measuring the flash illumination reflected back from the subject using the sensor for Non-TTL auto flash. Distance Priority manual flash mode (kD-11) If you preset the aperture and the distance to the subject, the SB SB-900 will automatically take control of correct light output. Manual flash mode (kD-14) By setting the aperture and the flash output level, you can manually set the exposure and the distance to the subject. Repeating flash mode (kD-17) The SB-900 fires repeatedly to create stroboscopic multiple-exposure effects. This operation is useful when shooting fast-moving subjects. Switching illumination pattern (kD-24) You can select one of three types of illumination pattern (standard, center-weighted and even) in accordance with your objective. Bounce flash (kD-26) By tilting or rotating the flash head, you can bounce the light off a ceiling or wall to make use of reflected light. Close-up flash photography (kD-30) Close up flash photography can be achieved with use of the built-in wide-flash adapter and the flash head tilted down. Using color filters (kD-33) You can compensate for the color of a light source or create interesting effects by changing the light from the filters to a different color. Flash output level compensation/Exposure compensation (kD-37) Flash output level compensation is performed by modifying the flash output level for the flash illuminated subject only. Exposure compensation is performed by intentionally modifying the correct exposure to modify both the subject and background exposure. B-4
