TOKYO - Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the release of the Speedlight SB-910, the new high-end Nikon Speedlight. The SB-910 is a high-end Speedlight for advanced amateur to
professional photographers that offers a number of improvements over its
predecessor, the Nikon Speedlight SB-900. Among these improvements are
smoother operation, greater illumination precision, and the adoption of
hard color filters.
The SB-910 fully supports the creative photography of advanced amateurs
to professionals who demand the ability to make the most of light to
achieve their individual intent.
SB-910 primary features
A refined user interface for smoother operation
Users can now quickly access custom settings using the new MENU
button. In addition, the graphical user interface (GUI) has been
improved to offer simpler application of settings for all operations.
Three illumination patterns for use according to the scene
The SB-910 offers selection from three illumination patterns
(standard, even, center-weighted), allowing users to choose the pattern
most appropriate for the scene. Illumination precision has also been
increased.
Automatic detection of hard color filters attached to the front of the flash head
The SB-910 supports hard color filters because they are more durable,
stand up better to the heat generated by the flash head, and are easier
to use than the gel color filters supported by its predecessor. One
incandescent filter and one fluorescent filter are supplied with the
SB-910.
