About this user’s manual

This manual has been compiled with the assumption that the SB-910 will be used in

combination with a camera compatible with CLS and a CPU lens (0A-5). To get the

most out of your Speedlight, please read this user’s manual thoroughly before use.

For use with non-CLS-compatible SLR cameras, see “For Use with Non-CLS-•

compatible SLR Cameras.” (0F-1)

For use with i-TTL-compatible COOLPIX cameras (P5100, P5000, E8800, E8400),•

see “For Use with COOLPIX Cameras.” (0G-1)

The separate “A collection of example photos” provides an overview of the•

SB-910’s flash photography capabilities with example photos.

About the SB-910 and This User’s Manual

Terminology

■Default settings

Function and mode settings at the time of purchase

■Nikon Creative Lighting System (CLS)

A lighting system that enables various ﬂash photography functions with improved

communication between Nikon Speedlights and cameras

Illumination patterns■

Control types of light falloff at edges; the SB-910 provides three illumination

patterns, standard, even and center-weighted.

■FX format/DX format

Nikon digital SLR camera image area types (FX format: 36 × 24, DX format:

24 × 16)

Guide number (GN)■

The amount of light generated by a ﬂash unit; GN = ﬂash-to-subject distance

(m or ft) × aperture f-number (ISO 100)

Zoom head position■

Position of a Speedlight zoom head; the angle of coverage changes as the zoom

head position changes.

■Effective ﬂash output distance

Flash-to-subject distance with correctly adjusted ﬂash output

■Effective ﬂash output distance range

Range of effective ﬂash output distance

Flash compensation■

Intentional ﬂash output change to obtain the desired subject brightness

A–7

Preparation

i-TTL mode■

Flash mode in which the Speedlight ﬁres monitor pre-ﬂashes and the camera

measures the reﬂected light and controls the Speedlight ﬂash output

Monitor pre-ﬂashes

Scarcely visible ﬂashes emitted before actual ﬁring that enable the camera to

measure the light reﬂected on a subject

i-TTL balanced ﬁll-ﬂash

i-TTL mode type in which ﬂash output level is adjusted to well-balanced

exposure of the main subject and background

Standard i-TTL

i-TTL mode type in which ﬂash output level is adjusted to the correct exposure

of the main subject regardless of background brightness

Auto aperture ﬂash mode■

Non-TTL auto ﬂash mode with aperture priority; the Speedlight measures the

reﬂected ﬂash and controls the ﬂash output according to the reﬂected ﬂash data

and the lens and camera information

Non-TTL auto ﬂash mode■

Auto ﬂash mode without TTL; the Speedlight measures the reﬂected ﬂash and

controls the ﬂash output according to the reﬂected ﬂash data

Distance-priority manual ﬂash mode■

Manual ﬂash mode with distance priority; the ﬂash-to-subject distance is set and

the Speedlight ﬂash output level is adjusted in accordance with the camera settings.

Manual ﬂash mode■

Flash mode in which the ﬂash output level and aperture are manually set to obtain

the desired exposure

Repeating ﬂash mode■

Flash mode in which the Speedlight ﬁres repeatedly during a single exposure to

create stroboscopic multiple effects

Preparation

A–8

About the SB-910 and This User’s Manual

Step■

A unit of the shutter speed or aperture change; a change of one step halves/

doubles the amount of light entering the camera

■EV (Exposure Value)

Each increment of 1 in exposure value corresponds to a one-step change in

exposure, which is made by halving/doubling shutter speed or aperture

Wireless multiple ﬂash-unit photography■

Flash photography with multiple wireless ﬂash units simultaneously ﬁring

Master ﬂash unit

The ﬂash unit that commands remote ﬂash units in multiple ﬂash-unit

photography

Remote ﬂash unit

A ﬂash unit that ﬁres following commands from the master ﬂash unit

Advanced Wireless Lighting

Wireless multiple ﬂash-unit photography with CLS; multiple remote ﬂash unit

groups can be controlled with the master ﬂash unit.

SU-4 type wireless multiple ﬂash-unit photography

Wireless multiple ﬂash-unit photography suited to taking picture of a fast-

moving subject; the master and remote ﬂash units ﬁre almost simultaneously

because the master ﬂash unit does not emit monitor pre-ﬂashes.
