Product Details

Nikon announces the Nikon Speedlight SB 400 External Flash, an intelligent and versatile external flash unit that provides i-TTL flash operation in a super-compact and ultra-lightweight body at an affordable price.

With its powerful guide number of 21, the SB-400 is an ideal flash unit for beginners in digital SLR photography, but it is also useful for hobbyists and professionals looking for a handy i-TTL flash unit offering an effortless bounce flash function.

The SB-400 has been specifically developed to provide photographers with an entry-level external flash unit which is compatible with i-TTL flash operation. When combined with cameras that are compatible with the Nikon Creative Lighting System, the SB-400 is controlled in i-TTL and D40's M (manual) mode.

The SB-400's flash head can be tilted in 4 steps--horizontal, as well as 60, 75, and 90 degrees--and has a flash shooting distance range of between 60cm to 20m (depending on the camera's ISO setting). Slow Sync, Red-eye Reduction and other flash modes can also be set on the camera body, enabling users to enjoy brighter and more natural lighting for better flash pictures.

Features:

Compact, lightweight Speedlight unit
18mm angle of coverage with Nikon DX format digital SLR cameras
Bounce capabilities in 4 steps up to 90 degrees; flash shooting distance range from 2 and up to 66 feet
Approximate guide number of 98.4 feet at ISO 200 (at 18mm zoom head setting)
Operates on two AA-size (1.5V) batteries; fast 2.5 second recycling time

Consumer Feedback

"Does exactly what it's supposed to, and is very easy to use."
Actual customer feedback from Amazon.com


"f you need a small flash that is a lot more powerful than the on-camera flash on your compatible Nikon camera, this is a great flash. More than anything, it's a better than on-camera flash that also has bounce capability, which none of the on-camera flashes do."
Actual customer feedback from Amazon.com


"I really like this flash unit. The reason is simple: it is small and unobtrusive. Most flashes add weight and bulk to a camera, and I often find myself deciding not to attach the outboard flash to my DSLR. This flash, by contrast, is small and barely noticeable on my D80 or D200."
