Nikon is set launch a new high end speedlight flash gun for its d-SLRs, which delivers several new levels of creative control especially for difficult shooting conditions.The speedlight SB-910 has a new enhanced intuitive operating system and graphic user interface, which makes it easier for photographers to see what they are doing via the introduction of an operation and menu navigation system. It comes with illuminated function buttons, a dedicated menu button for quick access to custom settings and an improved LCD screen graphic user interface.
It is equipped with a wide zoom range covering the most popular focal lengths as well as FX/DX-format identification to optimize zoom settings based on the camera body.
The light was also said to be more efficient at battery power usage than the previous SB-900 and features an enhanced thermal cut-out function.

It is operable on camera, and wirelessly off camera as a commander or remote.
The new Thermal Cut-Out function adds protection against damage to the flash panel and body overheating during continuous flash use. Flash recycling time is automatically delayed if a significant rise in temperature is detected, rather than ceasing operations to protect the unit, Nikon said.
It uses new hard-type colour compensation filters for fluorescent and incandescent colour temperature balancing. The flash automatically recognizes the filter and adjusts white balance accordingly on camera. An AF-assist illuminator is compatible with all Nikon d-SLR AF systems.
The SB-910 speedlight includes three illumination patterns (standard, centre-weighted and even) which match most shooting situations. The “standard” pattern will cover all conventional, standard flash coverage. The “centre-weighted” pattern is best used for portraits where light falloff at the edges is desired.
The “even” setting covers a subject from the centre to the edges without light falloff. This pattern is applicable for shooting group photographs indoors.
The flash incorporates a multi-step power zoom range covering from a 17-200mm angle of view.
It supports Nikon’s advanced wireless TTL operation and can function as a wireless commander with control over three separate groups of speedlights or as a remote speedlight triggered by other SB-910 speedlights, SB-700 speedlights, SU-800 Wireless Commander or the built-in speedlight set to Commander Mode on compatible Nikon D-SLR cameras, the company said.
Recycling time is said to be approximately 2.5 seconds for full power with NiMH batteries, and approximately 3 seconds with AA Alkaline batteries.
