Nikon Speedlite SB-30

Super-small, versatile Speedlight

The Nikon SB-30 houses a variety of flash functions within its compact body, and is designed for users of Nikon SLRs that do not have a built-in Speedlight who want a highly portable secondary Speedlight.

The SB-30 offers close-up shooting, a built-in wide flash adapter that offers coverage for a 17mm wideangle lens, TTL wireless slave flash capability, and an infrared remote commander. Flash output level compensation (±1/2 EV) is also available for non-TTL auto flash mode and manual flash mode.

The SB-30's TTL wireless slave flash function works with Coolpix digital cameras to double or triple the effective flash shooting distance.
