Nikon SB-600 flashgun
by Lilian ·
After much hesitation and consideration, I finally got myself the Nikon SB-600 flashgun. A few people have suggested getting the SB-800 but I couldn’t part with my money because I think the price is twice the price of the SB-600.
As it is, I am already totally blur with the foreign terms and OMG, I took a quick browse through the manual and I read that I am supposed to calculate some formulas. Die! I am bad with things like these. Until now, I can’t figure out what is TTL in my flashgun. I only know that I am suppose to use that.
Moreover, I haven’t have much time to test them out yet. I am looking forward to attend some indoor event with dim lighting to play around with the flashgun.
One other thing is now my camera is damn heavy. The flashgun uses four batteries and with my kick-ass fat micro lens, I can feel the weight of the camera on my wrists.
I don’t think I am going to read the manual too much because the more I read, the more confused I am. I will most probably use my instinct and try through trial and errors.

TTL / BL is normally used because the flashgun will actually fire 2 flashes within a single click. The first flash will send a light out and it will detect the amount of light that comes back, whether its bright enough or not… The flashgun will then send the 2nd flash according to the requirements of the lighting so that you picture gets the right amount of lighting for your shot… Neat huh?? All in 1 click!
