The Nikon SB-700 SPEEDLIGHT significantly enhances creative lighting options for photographers. It is user-friendly, even for beginners, and inherits advanced features from the professional-grade SB-900. Its compact design is comparable to the SB-600, ensuring ease of use. The SB-700 supports multiple flash modes, wireless photography, and adaptable light distribution, offering flexibility and increased expression through effective illumination. Its bounce and swivel capabilities provide versatile lighting angles, expanding photographic possibilities.
Features
While the majority of digital-SLR cameras are equipped with a built-in flash, as these built-in flashes are only able to light a subject from one side and angle, user creativity and expression is strictly limited. External flash units are tools for increasing creativity by maximizing lighting possibilities. However, many users still find external flash units difficult to use and think of them only as a way to capture images of dark or dimly scenes.
Easy-to-use SB-700
So that even those inexperienced with external flash units may enjoy the benefits of more creative lighting, Nikon has developed the easy-to-use SB-700. The new SB-700 incorporates functions inherited from the SB-900, which has been so well received by professional and advanced amateur digital-SLR camera users, in a smaller size comparable to the SB-600. This makes the multi-functional SB-700 extremely easy to use, even for beginners. The SB-700 readily responds to the needs of Nikon digital-SLR camera users with a broad range of skills who want to increase their individual power of expression through photographs that make the most of light.
