Troubleshooting
● ● ● If the built-in wide-flash adapter is broken off accidentally
If the wide-flash adapter is subjected to a strong impact while set on the flash
head, it may be broken off. In this case, visit your nearest authorized Nikon
service center for repair.
• If the wide-flash adapter is broken off, it is no longer possible to set the zoom-head
position to anything other than 14mm. To adjust the zoom-head position, refer to the
Custom Settings “Zoom-head position setting if the built-in wide-flash adapter is broken
off accidentally” (p. 52).

Note

happens, replace the batteries while the SB-600’s power is turned on.
Cause
The SB-600 is not correctly attached to
the camera.
The shutter speed is set to M90, M250,
or B (bulb).
The shutter speed set is faster than the
flash sync speed.

auto flash.
