Control the light. Expand the possibilities.

Photography is all about working with light. Take control of the light, and everything changes. Drab settings become instantly dramatic. A seemingly mundane moment turns into something unforgettable. For photographers, working with flash can be a liberating experience. It's a way of unlocking the full potential of the scene in front of you – of bending, or even rewriting, the rules. With a few Nikon Speedlights in your bag, you'll have a wealth of creative options at your disposal every time you shoot.

Portable and highly adaptable, Speedlights let you devise imaginative, multi-angle lighting setups with minimal hassle. That's thanks to the power and flexibility of Nikon's Creative Lighting System (CLS), which provides intuitive, highly accurate flash metering, combined with the ability to control multiple Speedlights wirelessly.

And it just got even better. The new SB-5000 Speedlight marks the dawn of an exciting new phase for CLS, and for flash photography in general. For the first time, it's possible to control Speedlights via radio waves, enabling reliable communication over far greater distances (up to 30 m/100 ft), and without having to worry about physical obstacles. With the power to control up to 6 groups of Speedlights at once, even the most ambitious lighting designs are now feasible. What's more, enhanced high-speed sync accuracy and quicker flash recycle rates allow you to capture fast-moving subjects like never before. Flash photography has the power to transform your images. And with Nikon's improved Creative Lighting System, the possibilities are as limitless as your imagination.

As the camera pans while using a slow shutter speed, the backdrop of autumn leaves bathed in morning light becomes a rich tapestry of saturated colors. The cycle path is still in the shadows, but two remote Speedlights illuminate the riders as they pass. Radio communication ensures reliable wireless performance, even in dense foliage.

A pair of mounted Speedlights acts as the key light on the dancer, as additional flash units positioned in the front and rear illuminate the foliage behind. With radio communication, there are no line-of-sight issues. Accurate high-speed sync freezes the action, while a high ISO setting makes it possible to capture every nuance of the ethereal surroundings.

The photographer shoots from the towboat, while five Speedlights on an auxiliary boat combine to create a concentrated hard light on the wake boarder. Instantaneous communication over long distances is vital to achieving this shot. With the available natural light falling fast, rapid flash recycle times are also invaluable.

More flexible lighting control with various advanced functions

Nikon Creative Lighting System (CLS) is Nikon's original flash system that utilizes optimized data communication between Speedlights and cameras. A variety of advanced features achieved via a combination of Speedlights and CLS-compatible cameras* remarkably expands the possibilities of flash photography. CLS is composed of versatile functions as shown below. (Available functions differ depending on the combination of Speedlights and cameras.)

• Flash color information communication [Flash] [LED light]
• Auto FP high-speed sync
• i-TTL flash control [i-TTL balanced fill-flash] [Standard i-TTL flash]
• Advanced Wireless Lighting [Radio-controlled] [Optically-controlled]
• AF-assist illumination for multi-point AF
• Modeling illumination
• Flash Value (FV) lock
• Unified flash control

* CLS-compatible cameras: FX-format/DX-format Nikon digital SLR cameras (except D1 series and D100), F6, COOLPIX A.

Refers to page 10-11 for available functions with a combination of Speedlights and cameras.

Major features of Nikon Creative Lighting System

• i-TTL flash control: A camera sensor meters reflected light from subjects via monitor pre-flashes before the main flash, then analyzes the information and adjusts the flash output. The number of monitor pre-flash and its amount are optimized for more precise flash output adjustment. When a G-/D-/E-type lens is attached, the distance information from the subjects is applied to determine the most appropriate output.
• i-TTL balanced fill-flash: Balances the brightness of main subjects and background to optimize flash output. Main subjects can be exposed correctly with natural brightness, against the background ambient light.
• Standard i-TTL flash: Adjusts flash output to apply an appropriate amount of light to main subjects. Ideal for emphasizing the main subjects.
• Advanced Wireless Lighting: Wireless multiple flash photography is made possible with multiple Speedlights. Speedlights' positions and flash settings can be adjusted to enjoy various lighting choices. There are two control systems: Radio-controlled and optically-controlled.
• Radio-controlled: Attaching the WR-R10 Wireless Remote Controller to a compatible camera (D5, D850, D500, D7500), remote Speedlights (SB-5000 only) can be controlled via radio waves. (WR-A10 Wireless Remote Adapter is required for the D5, D850 and D500.)
• Optically-controlled: Speedlights can be controlled via firing from a master flash.
• Modeling illumination: A certain amount of very little light fires consecutively, so that you can confirm the lighting before shooting.
• Flash Value (FV) lock: Based on an appropriate flash amount determined with the monitor pre-flash, this automatically adjusts the flash amount even when you change composition, zooming or aperture to deliver proper exposure. Fixing the flash amount enables photography with stable exposure.
• Flash color information communication: When a camera's white balance is set to Auto or Flash, it automatically selects an appropriate white balance according to the flash or the SB-500's LED light conditions. Flash: Information on color temperature and color filters is transmitted to the camera. LED light: Color temperature information from the SB-500's LED light is transmitted to the camera.
• Auto FP high-speed sync: For i-TTL flash control and manual flash control, flash photography using a shutter speed faster than the camera's own sync speed is enabled. This function automatically activates when the shutter speed exceeds the normal flash sync speed.
• AF-assist illumination for multi-point AF: When it is difficult to focus on a subject in low light, this function projects AF-assist illumination compatible with multi-area AF and multi-point AF of the camera to achieve autofocus.
• Unified flash control: This function can share various flash settings with Speedlights and cameras. Speedlight settings can be adjusted using a camera or Camera Control Pro 2 (optional). Settings executed on Speedlights are reflected on the camera and Camera Control Pro 2.

Creative multiple flash photography with Advanced Wireless Lighting

A combination of CLS-compatible cameras and Speedlights enables wireless multiple flash photography which controls each group of master and remote flash units. There are two systems: Radio-controlled and optically-controlled.

Radio-controlled Advanced Wireless Lighting

With the WR-R10 Wireless Remote Controller attached to the camera (D5, D850, D500, D7500) as a commander, radio-controlled Advanced Wireless Lighting is available by locating remote flashes more flexibly than with an optically-controlled system, even when they're out of view, behind obstacles or in bright ambient light.

• WR-A10 Wireless Remote Adapter is required when attaching WR-R10 to the D5, D850 and D500.
• Only the SB-5000 can be used as remote flashes.
• Up to six groups (A-F) using 18 units can be set as remote flash units.
• Wireless multiple flash photography without using a master flash is also possible.

Optically-controlled Advanced Wireless Lighting

Wireless multiple flash photography with an optically-controlled system is enabled with the CLS-compatible cameras except COOLPIX A and Speedlights. Also, a built-in flash with commander function can be used.

• Up to three groups (A, B, C) of remote flashes can be set. There is no limit to the number of remote units in each group, however, up to three for each group is recommended.

Simultaneous use of optically-controlled and radio-controlled systems

Optically-controlled system with a master flash (except SB-5000) attached to the camera and radio-controlled system with the WR-R10 can be used simultaneously.

• Remote flashes of groups A, B and C are optically controlled, while those of groups D, E and F are radio controlled.
• SB-5000 cannot be used as a master flash in the optically-controlled system.
• Only the SB-5000 can be used as a remote flash in the radio-controlled system.

With D5, D850, D500

Optically-controlled system with a master flash (except SB-5000) attached to the camera and radio-controlled system with the WR-R10 can be used simultaneously.

With D7500

Using the built-in flash of the D7500 as a commander, optically-controlled Advanced Wireless Lighting is available for up to two groups of remote units*. When used in conjunction with Nikon's WR-R10 Wireless Remote Controller, the built-in flash can also control up to three groups of optional SB-5000 Speedlights simultaneously via radio. Advanced Wireless Lighting using both optical and radio control at the same time is also possible.

*SB-5000, SB-700, SB-500 and SB-R200 (all optional).

Other functions of Speedlights

• Standard TTL flash: A camera meters reflected light of the main flash through the lens, then adjusts the flash output level so that the subject is correctly exposed.
• Non-TTL auto flash: Reflected light of the main flash is detected by the flash sensor on the Speedlight and controlled for appropriate exposure.
• Distance-priority manual flash: Once the shooting distance is set, the Speedlight automatically controls the flash output according to the aperture set. You can take pictures while retaining the same flash exposure even with different apertures.
• Auto power zoom function: This feature allows the angle of illumination to be automatically adjusted as the lens is zoomed in or out.
• Red-eye reduction: A process that removes "red-eye" caused by light reflecting from the camera taken with the flash. It emits "pre-flashes" several times before the main flash, to make the subjects' pupils contract for reducing red-eye. (Available with a camera featuring red-eye reduction mode)
• Repeating flash: Flash fires repeatedly during a single exposure to create a stroboscopic multiple-exposure effect.
• Bounce flash: When the flash head is rotated to bounce flash position, you can bounce the flash off the ceiling or a wall to soften shadows and produce a more natural-looking picture.
