The Nikon SB-5000 Speedlight flash unit is fast, reliable and versatile, providing outstanding illumination both outdoors and in the studio. Radio signals allow use within a radius of 30 metres and support complex setups with the flash both mounted on the camera and off-camera: now you can work even without a direct line of sight or in bright sunlight that would interfere with an optical signal. The new integrated cooling system allows over 100 shots in quick succession at full flash power. For photographers who want to capture the decisive moment spontaneously, the light, compact SB-5000 offers clearly arranged controls for intuitive handling.
Advanced Wireless Lighting with radio control
With the SB-5000 and the WR-R10 wireless remote controller, you can now combine both single and multi-flash systems. In conjunction with the WR-R10 wireless remote controller, up to six groups of SB-5000 units are supported. Optical control is also fully supported, so older flash units can also be used in multi-flash setups.
Speedlight with integrated cooling system
From the red carpet to the catwalk – the SB-5000 doesn't overheat even in stressful situations. The SB-5000 contains Nikon's new flash cooling system. This means you can take numerous shots in quick succession. The flash is fast and reliable and allows 120 shots at 5-second intervals or 84 shots at 3-second intervals. At full flash power, over 100 shots in quick succession are possible. The system prevents heat build-up inside the flash head and thus protects against overheating.
Nikon Creative Lighting System
At the heart of the SB-5000 is Nikon's i-TTL flash control (intelligent through-the-lens flash control), which enables Nikon flash units to exchange important exposure information with CLS-compatible digital SLR cameras. The SB-5000 can be controlled either by radio as part of an Advanced Wireless Lighting system or via optical signal transmission together with older flash units.
Compact design, clearly arranged controls
The clearly laid-out display shows shooting information in large, easy-to-read characters. The multi-function dial and the i button give you quick access to frequently used or customised functions: for example, when you press the i button, the most important settings for shooting with a single flash unit or with Advanced Wireless Lighting are immediately displayed in a list. As with the previous model, the flash head of the SB-5000 can be tilted down by up to –7° or up by up to 90° and rotated 180° to the left and right.
