•  These filters are consumable items. Replace them when they deteriorate 

or their colors fade.

•  The heat generated from the flash head can warp the filters. However, 

this will not affect their performance.

•  Scratches on the filters will have no effect on performance unless the 

filters fade in color.

•  To remove dust or dirt, wipe the filter lightly with a soft, clean cloth.

When a color compensation filter is attached to the SB-5000 while 
the camera’s white balance is set to auto or flash, filter information is 
automatically transmitted to the camera, and the camera’s optimum white 
balance is automatically adjusted to give the correct color temperature.
•  When an SJ-5 color filter is attached to the SB-5000, set the camera’s 

white balance to auto, flash or direct sunlight.

•  When using the SB-5000 with a camera not equipped with filter 

detection (D2 series, D1 series, D200, D100, D80, D70 series, D60, D50, 
D40 series), set the camera’s white balance according to the filter in use 
while referring to the following table.

•  For details about white balance, see the camera user's manual.
