Melville, NY—Nikon added a new flagship speedlight to its creative lighting system—the SB-910, which incorporates an enhanced intuitive operating system and graphic user interface (GUI).

The SB-910 provides a wide zoom range covering the most popular focal lengths as well as FX/DX-format identification that optimizes zoom settings based on the camera body. It also provides more efficient battery usage and an enhanced thermal cut-out function.

“As Nikon’s new flagship speedlight, the SB-910 provides exceptional high performance and versatility that users have come to value in Nikon’s creative lighting system,” said Lisa Osorio, general manager, Marketing, Nikon Inc. “By addressing the needs of photographers that work in challenging lighting scenarios, the SB-910 delivers a new level of portable lighting functionality, with performance and intelligent features that adapt to a wide range of lighting challenges.”

The speedlight is designed to provide easy operation and menu navigation, with illuminated function buttons, a dedicated menu button with quick access to custom settings and an improved LCD GUI. Whether the unit is used as an on-camera flash, wireless commander or remote, it is built to provide consistent flash exposure. And its thermal cut-out function offers protection against damage to the flash panel and body from overheating during continuous flash use; the flash recycling time is automatically delayed if a significant rise in temperature is detected, rather than ceasing operation to protect the unit.

The heat-resistance SB-910 uses new hard-type color compensation filters for fluorescent and incandescent color temperature balancing, and it recognizes which filter is being used and adjusts white balance accordingly on the connected Nikon DSLR.

Other features include: an AF-assist illuminator compatible with AF systems used in Nikon DSLRs; three illumination patterns (standard, center weighted, even); a multi-step power zoom range that covers a 17-200mm angle of view and detects Nikon FX and DX formats to help select suitable light distribution; and full support for Nikon’s wireless TTL operation.

The SB-910 can function as a wireless commander with control over three groups of speedlights or as a remote speedlight triggered by other SB-910 speedlights, SB-700 speedlights, the SU-800 wireless commander or the built-in speedlight set to commander mode on compatible Nikon DSLRs. It incorporates a high-speed recycling time of 2.5 sec for full power with NiMH batteries and 3 sec with AA alkalines.

Optional water guards will be available for select cameras to protect the connection between the flash and camera, allowing users to utilize the flash when weather conditions are less than ideal. The SJ-4 color filter set provides a warming, red, yellow or blue filter for adding color to the background, foreground or to accent the scene. The SB-910 comes with the AS-21 speedlight stand, SW-13H diffusion dome, SZ-2FL and SZ-2TN hard-type color compensation filters and a soft case. $549.95. nikonusa.com.
