Nikon SB-400 Speedlight i-TTL Shoe Mount Flash

Nikon SB-400 Speedlight
The Nikon SB-400 Speedlight is an incredibly compact and lightweight external flash designed to provide a significant boost in lighting quality without the bulk of a full-sized strobe. Perfectly sized for Nikon’s entry-level DSLRs and Z-series mirrorless cameras, it offers a simple, “set-it-and-forget-it” experience while providing the creative flexibility of bounce lighting—a feature missing from standard built-in flashes.

Portable Performance and Versatility
Ultra-Compact Design: The SB-400 is small enough to fit in a jacket pocket, making it the ideal travel companion for photographers who want professional-looking light without a heavy gear bag.

i-TTL Intelligence: Fully compatible with Nikon’s Creative Lighting System, the SB-400 uses i-TTL (intelligent Through-The-Lens) metering to automatically calculate the perfect exposure for your scene, ensuring balanced fill-flash every time.

Bounce Lighting Capability: The flash head can be tilted upward in four stages (horizontal, 60°, 75°, and 90°). This allows you to “bounce” light off the ceiling, creating soft, flattering illumination that eliminates harsh shadows and “red-eye” in portraits.

Efficient and Secure
Impressive Range: With a shooting distance spanning from 2 feet to 66 feet (depending on your camera’s ISO), this flash provides ample power for everything from close-up macro shots to large group photos.

Safety Lock: The mounting foot features a dedicated safety lock to ensure the flash stays securely attached to your camera’s hot shoe during active shooting.

Streamlined Controls: Designed for effortless operation, the SB-400 integrates seamlessly with your camera’s menu system. On compatible bodies like the D40 or D60, you can even switch to Manual (M) mode for total creative control over light output.
