Foreword
Thank you for purchasing the Nikon Speedlight SB-30.
The SB-30 is a compact, light, and versatile Speedlight having a guide number of 16/52
(at 28mm angle of coverage, ISO 100, m/ft, 20°C/68°F). Available flash shooting modes
are TTL auto flash, Non-TTL auto flash, and Manual flash. Wireless multiple flash operation
is also possible.
Major features of the SB-30
• The SB-30 is useful as a handy flash unit to perform TTL auto, Non-TTL auto, and Manual flash, when
used with Nikon SLRs cameras not having a built-in Speedlight.
• The SB-30 is suitable as a slave flash unit in wireless or wired multiple flash operation when used in
combination with the COOLPIX or Nikon SLRs cameras having a built-in Speedlight.
• Close-up flash photography using with the flash head tilted down is possible without detaching the
Speedlight from the camera. Wireless multiple flash operation using the SB-30 as an Infrared remote
commander is also possible to control the firing of other slave flash unit(s).
To get the most out of your Speedlight, please read this and your camera instruction manual
thoroughly before use.
• Because the SB-30 features the same TTL flash operations as those of the SB-22s, refer to those items
in the flash photography section of your camera instruction manual corresponding to SB-22s, if the
SB-30 is not listed.
• (p. xx) indicates the reference page.

1Set the SB-30’s power switch to the OFF position.
2Open the battery chamber lid as indicated by the arrows.
3Install the battery following the + and –marks as shown. Then close the battery chamber lid by
sliding it into place while pressing down.
• Install one 3V lithium battery (CR123A or DL123A). Do not use the other types of batteries.
• When replacing the battery, be sure to set the power switch to the OFF position. If the battery is replaced
while the power switch is set to the ON or STBY (standby) position, the Speedlight may fire accidentally or
the power may not turn on correctly. In this case, set the SB-30’s power switch to the OFF position once,
then set it back to the ON or STBY position. (p. 7)
Battery performance
•
When using a fresh battery, the number of flashes when the SB-30 fires at M1/1 output is approx. 250 times.
•
With a fresh battery, the recycling time after the SB-30 fires at M1/1 output is approx. 4 seconds.
• Replace the battery, if the ready-light takes more than 30 seconds to light up when the unit first turned
on or after firing the unit.

1 Set the SB-30’s power switch to the ON or STBY position.
• When set to the STBY position the Standby function is activated. (p. 8)
• The Standby function does not work with COOLPIX digital cameras having no hot-shoe contacts. In this
case, set the SB-30 to the ON position.
2 Make sure the ready-light comes on.
• When the ready-light lights up, the SB-30 is fully recycled and ready to fire.
3 Set the SB-30’s power switch to the OFF position when not in use.
• Be sure to set the SB-30’s power switch to the OFF position when not in use to conserve battery power.

Conserving battery power using the Standby function
• If the SB-30’s power switch is set to the STBY position, the Standby function is activated
only when the Mode selector dial is set to either TTL auto, Non-TTL auto, or Manual
flash mode.
• If the SB-30 and the camera are not used for approx. 40 seconds, the Standby function
activates and automatically turns the SB-30 off to conserve battery power. This is called
the standby state.
• The Standby function does not work if the Mode selector dial is set to the Wireless slave
flash mode. Take care that the power remains on and is consuming.
To turn the SB-30 on again after it enters in the standby state, you can:
• Press the Standby resume button/Slave flash firing cancel button.
• Lightly press the shutter release button on a camera that is compatible with the TTL auto
flash mode.
