Manufacturer Take control of the lighting in your stills and HD videos.As you
master your camera, you begin to look at lighting in an entirely new way. No
longer is proper exposure your only goal—now you can use shadows and
brightness to add a sense of depth, an artistic characteristic to your photos
and HD videos. A first for Nikon Speedlights, the SB-500 AF Speedlight is a
compact, lightweight i-TTL Speedlight and LED video light that gives you total
control of the light around you. Whether you’re looking for extra illumination
during HD video recording, a wireless off-camera flash to use along with your
camera’s built-in commander mode, another Nikon Speedlight like the SB-700 or
SB-910 or the SU-800 Wireless Speedlight Commander or just an advanced and
versatile—yet simple to use—Nikon Speedlight, the SB-500 AF Speedlight is a
bright idea.Simple operation, advanced performanceCompact, lightweight and
multifunctionalThe SB-500 AF Speedlight has simple controls—just a few buttons
—and it operates on two AA batteries; yet, it offers the performance of an
advanced Speedlight. Its powerful and has wide coverage with a guide number of
24/78.7 (ISO 100, m/ft) with 24mm coverage in FX-format and 16mm coverage in
DX-format. Its head rotates 180° left and right and tilts 90° upward allowing
you to bounce light off nearby surfaces to soften the light and shadows,
creating more flattering portraits. If your camera has a Commander Mode, it
can even be used wirelessly off-camera along with your camera’s built-in flash
for greater illumination power from interesting angles.Brighten up your HD
videoHigh-performance LED for video recordingThe SB-500 AF Speedlight is also
a versatile video light especially well suited for recording interviews up
close. It has a built-in high-intensity LED light (approx. 100 lux) that
provides steady, uniform daylight-balanced illumination. It can be used at
three output levels—quarter, half or full power—making it practical for low-
light video shooting and close up still photography. And when used with the
D810 or D750, the SB-500 AF Speedlight communicates LED color information
(along with that of the flash) to the camera for optimal white balance.Power,
ease and versatilityNikon i-TTL technologyNikon’s i-TTL technology
(intelligent Through-The-Lens) tailors the characteristics of the flash to
each shot you take, so you get optimal results every time. With that
intelligence and more illumination power than a camera’s pop-up flash, the
SB-500 AF Speedlight is excellent as a fill-light outdoors (brightening
shadowy areas on your subject) or for soft bounce lighting indoors. Use it
off-camera wirelessly as a second flash controlled by either your camera’s
built-in flash (if your camera has a Commander Mode), another Speedlight or
the SU-800 Wireless Speedlight Commander. If you’re using D810 or D750 in
Commander Mode, the SB-500 AF Speedlight will also work as a master flash in
Advanced Wireless Lighting. Supplied AccessoriesSB-500 AF Speedlight SS-DC2
