•  Guide numbers in the above tables are for when the SB-5000 is used with a D3 
camera with a 1/500 second shutter speed.
•  Guide number for auto FP high-speed sync varies depending on the camera’s 
shutter speed. For example, when the shutter speed is changed from 1/500 second 
to 1/1000 second, the guide number decreases 1 step (approx. 1/1.4). The higher 
the shutter speed, the smaller the guide number.
