About the SB-5000

The SB-5000 is a high-performance Speedlight compatible with Nikon

Creative Lighting System (CLS) with a guide number of 34.5/113 (ISO 100,

m/ft) (at the 35 mm zoom head position in Nikon FX format with standard

illumination pattern). In addition to conventional optical control, radio

control is possible in wireless multiple flash-unit photography.

CLS-compatible cameras

Nikon digital SLR (Nikon FX/DX format) cameras (except

D1 series and D100), F6, CLS-compatible COOLPIX

cameras (0G-1)

About this reference manual

This manual has been compiled with the assumption that the

SB-5000 will be used in combination with a camera compatible

with CLS and a CPU lens (0A-3).To get the most out of your

Speedlight, please read the user’s manual and the reference manual (this

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,

E8700, E8400), see “For Use with COOLPIX Cameras”(0G-1).

• For details about camera functions and settings, see the camera user’s

manual.

Terminology

■Nikon Creative Lighting System (CLS)

A lighting system that enables various flash photography functions with

improved communication between Nikon Speedlights and cameras

■Unified flash control

A function that enables flash function settings to be shared by the

Speedlight and the camera

■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

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

■Manual flash mode

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

to obtain the desired exposure

A-5

Preparation

En-01

■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

■Repeating flash mode

Flash mode in which the Speedlight fires repeatedly during a single

exposure to create stroboscopic multiple effects

■Wireless multiple flash-unit photography

Flash photography with multiple wireless flash units simultaneously firing

Radio control

A type of control for multiple flash units using radio signals

Optical control

A type of control for multiple flash units using an optical pulse

Master flash unit

The flash unit attached to a camera in multiple flash-unit photography

Remote flash unit

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

or camera

A-6

Preparation

En-01

Advanced Wireless Lighting

Wireless multiple flash-unit photography with CLS; multiple remote

flash unit groups can be controlled with the master flash unit.

Quick wireless control

Wireless multiple flash-unit photography in which the flash output

level ratios of 2 remote flash unit groups (A and B) can be easily

balanced

Direct remote wireless multiple flash-unit photography

Wireless multiple flash-unit photography suited to taking pictures of

a fast-moving subjects; the master and remote flash units fire almost

simultaneously because the master flash unit does not emit monitor

pre-flashes.

Link mode

Enables selection of communication type between Nikon Speedlight

and camera. Available selections are pairing and PIN code.

Pairing

Speedlight and a camera paired beforehand communicate.

PIN code

Speedlight and a camera with the same 4-digit PIN code

communicate.

A-7

Preparation

En-01

■Monitor pre-flashes

A series of flashes emitted for a very short time before the actual firing that

enables the camera to measure the light reflected on a subject

■Effective flash output distance

Flash-to-subject distance with correctly adjusted flash output

■Effective flash output distance range

Range of effective flash output distance

■Zoom head position

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

zoom head position changes.

■Flash exposure compensation

Intentional flash output change to obtain the desired subject brightness

■Default settings

Function and mode settings at the time of purchase

■Illumination patterns

Control types of light falloff at edges; the SB-5000 provides 3 illumination

patterns, standard, even and center-weighted.

■Test firing

Flash firing to determine whether the Speedlight fires properly

■Modeling illumination

Repeated flash firings at a reduced flash output level to check the glare

and shadows cast on a subject

A-8

Preparation

■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; as the number increases,

the light extends further. There is a relation represented by an equation,

GN = flash-to-subject distance (m or ft) × aperture f-number (ISO 100).

■Step

A unit of the shutter speed or aperture change; a change of 1 step halves/

doubles the amount of light entering the camera

■EV (Exposure Value)

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

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

An aperture of f/1.4 and a shutter speed of 1 second correspond to EV 1

which provides correct exposure or proper brightness of the subject. As

the exposure value increases, the exposure of the film or imaging device

increases.

■Front-curtain sync/rear-curtain sync

In front-curtain sync, the flash fires immediately after the front curtain

is fully open; the subject frozen by the flash appears behind the blurred

movement. In rear-curtain sync, the flash fires moments before the rear

curtain starts to close; the blur of a moving subject appears behind the

subject and not in front, creating natural pictures.
