Speedlight SB-300
Enjoy the world of creative lighting at your fingertips. With intuitive controls and bounce capabilities, all you have to do it put it on, turn it on, and shoot away. The flash head can be set up to 120 degrees upward – which means you can bounce light off ceilings or walls for a softer, more natural light on your subjects. With the SB-300, you can control the surrounding light to capture beautiful portraits.
You can attach the compact SB-300 to any Nikon DSLR that supports the Creative Lighting System (CLS), or a COOLPIX model that supports i-TTL flash control. Find new inspiration with exciting lighting techniques that go beyond simple illumination. Tilt the flash for unique bounce effects, use the built-in wide panel for expanded shooting coverage, brighten backlit subjects and more—all from a remarkable shooting distance.
It’s such a convenient accessory, you’ll bring it along for every shooting adventure!
