The Nikon SB800 Speedlight Flash is a High-Performance Speedlight and is compatible with both digital and film SLR cameras. Its auto flash control is set to match the camera body: i-TTL Balanced Fill-Flash control, D-TTL Balanced Fill-Flash control and Auto Aperture Flash , and TTL and Non-TTL Auto Flash (A) with film cameras.

Intelligent i-TTL system supports Advanced Wireless Lighting including 3 remote i-TTL speedlight groups controlled through the Master SB-800. The SB-800 wireless lighting system makes operation as easy to use as an on camera speedlight.

Custom functions are provided to set values, or to activate or cancel functions that are unnecessary to set each time. Individual flash mode settings (TTL), (AA), (A) and (M) are available for each of the four groups (including master controller) for easy total lighting control based on the brightness of the subject and not simply on general output ratios for each group. Auto FP High Speed Sync Mode delivers needed fill flash in bright light. FV Lock (Flash Value Lock) allows photographers to change the composition or zoom for the shot while maintaining desired lighting of the subject. A Wide-area AF (Auto Focus) Illuminator, covers 11 AF sensors; compatible with every AF Nikkor lens.
