TWO NEWLY ADDED FUNCTIONS OF THE NIKON CREATIVE LIGHTING SYSTEM ARE FULLY SUPPORTED

• THE NEW FLASH SYSTEM REALIZES ENHANCED COLLABORATION WITH PHOTOGRAPHIC SYSTEMS SUCH AS CAMERA ACCESSORIES AND PERSONAL COMPUTERS, ACHIEVING IMPROVED OPERABILITY AND SHOOTING FLEXIBILITY
  Radio-Controlled Advanced Wireless Lighting: This system permits effective wireless multiple flash photography even in adverse shooting conditions such as under bright sunlight or when obstacles block optical control, for improved lighting flexibility (with D5 and D500). Unified Flash Control: This function enables setting changes and flash operation using camera menus or a personal computer with Camera Control Pro 2 (with D5 and D500).
• COOLING SYSTEM THAT REMARKABLY INCREASES THE NUMBER OF CONSECUTIVE FIRINGS IS INCORPORATED
  The cooling system incorporated in the SB-5000 suppresses heat generation within the flash head and prevents overheating of the flash panel caused by consecutive firings. As a result, the number of consecutive shooting is greatly increased.
• COMPACT AND LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN
  A lighter and more compact design is achieved while providing functions and performance superior to those of the current model.
• VIA REASSESSMENT OF FUNCTIONS AND LAYOUT OF CONTROLS, OPERABILITY HAS BEEN REMARKABLY IMPROVED
  Frequently used functions can be accessed quickly with a press of the rotary multi selector or newly adopted [i] button.
• SUPERIOR BASIC PERFORMANCE
  The SB-5000 provides a guide number of 34.5/113 at 35 mm or 55/180 at 200 mm (m/ft, ISO 100, 23°C, FX format, standard illumination pattern), number of flashes of 150 or more (alkaline), and minimum recycling time of approx. 2.6 s (alkaline) or 1.8 s (rechargeable Ni-MH).
