Nikon Australia has announced the launch of the new SB-5000 radio-controlled Speedlight.
The new flash unit is designed with radio‐controlled Advanced Wireless Lighting functionality and a cooling system that enables more than 100 continuous full‐powered flashes.
Nikon says the SB-5000's radio‐controlled Advanced Wireless Lighting (AWL) function gives photographers their choice of lighting positions and exposures.
The unit is a high output flash with guide numbers of 34.5 in FX‐format and 41 in DX-format.
It offers reduced downtime and accelerated productivity via a new cooling system that cools the flash head, preventing overheating and significantly increasing the number of continuous flashes.
For added practicality, the controls are refined – a number of functions are assigned to the rotary multi selector and 'OK' button, while the 'i' button provides a convenient access to frequently used functions.
Automatic adjustments of the zoom head position to match lens focal length come via the power zoom function.
This Speedlight also presents optimal angle of flash coverage from an automatic switching of the zoom head position as it detects a camera's image area setting of FX or DX format.
Rounding up design functionality of the significantly compact and small Speedlight is a bounce capability of the flash head to tilt down to 7° or up to 90°, and a horizontal rotation of 180° to the left and right.
