    Same problem as the above. I have the SD600 for about two weeks and it will not turn on.

  • amaynez23 Jul 09, 2008

    I have the exact same problem as above, and I already cleaned the battery cap with no success.

    I have the same problem. Just quit working. Has not been used that much. Cleaned contacts, changed batteries, no flash, no sound, nuttin'.

    Had just three months. Will not turn on! Just stop working! Changed batteries, cleaned contacts as suggested and stil nothing! Seems this is common problem with this product, from what I see on this site. The Nikon SB 600 seems to be a poor quality product.

Batteries may have leaked. Open battery chamber and clean ---especially the contacts situated at the bottom -- with pencil erazor. Blow out any loose bits and with new batteries try to switch the unit on.

My nikon d90 doesn't works when i put the flash sb-600
Could you provide some details? How does it not work? Does the D90 not turn on? Does it take a picture but the flash doesn't go off? What exposure mode(s) are you using?

The vibration is not working on my samsung tocco lite
This problem has something to do with the program or software. The program is not working correctly, that is why it cannot send a command for the vibrate to work.

You need to contact the manufacturer, and have them upgrade the firmware.

Good luck!

My sb 600 fires with the camera but it seems not illuminate
Definately a settings problem. The camera will only syncronize on one specific speed. Youe best bet is to use auto. For manual, you'll have to set the shutter speed at the sync speed.

Flash Sync Speed
  • up to 1/250 X-Sync Speed
  • up to 1/8000 FP High Speed Sync
  • Red-eye reduction
    Red-eye reduction with slow sync
    Rear-curtain sync
    Slow sync
    Front-curtain sync (normal) Flash Sync Modes
  • 1) i-TTL: TTL flash control by 1,005-pixel RGB sensor, built-in flash, SB-800, SB-600, SB-400: i-TTL balanced fill-flash and standard i-TTL flash
    2) AA (Auto Aperture-type) flash: Available with SB-800 used with CPU lens
    3) Non-TTL Auto: Available with Speedlights such as SB-800, 28, 27, and 22S
    4) Range-priority manual flash; available with SB-800 Flash Control

    Will the Nikon SB600 speedlight work with the Nikon D60 Camera. All the instructions mention all the other Nikon camera's but not the D60. Will the auto flsh modes work with the auto modes of the camera
    Yes. The SB-600 instructions don't mention the D60 because the SB-600 came out before the D60 existed. Bear in mind that the D60 does not have a commander mode so you can't use the SB-600 as a slave.

    Basically, as far as the SB-600 instructions are concerned, just pretend that you have a D40.

    SB-600 body is broken
    Tape works better than glue . The black tape . Super glue will work if you use an accurator with the glue .

    SB-600 will never be on ready
    The capacitor may be weak, or there is a problem at the component level that is not allowing the inverter to reach full voltage.

    The flash will need shop service.

    Sb-600 not beeping, images completely black (underexposed)
    Series of images is the KEY. If the Power you set the SB-600 is HIGH it will take a LONGER time to recycle than the SB-800. If you try to take a photo before the SB-600 is ready you will get a dark image. The randomness you get is due to the time between shots. In general try to run remote flashes at a lower power so they recycle faster.

    I like the SB-800 because it can take 5 cells. 5 cells can really make a difference in the recycle time (faster) The SB-600 only takes 4 cells so it is slower.

    Sb 600 under exposure.
    You probably haven't changed the camera and/or flash back to TTL mode from wireless mode.  Make sure they are both set to TTL, not commander mode and you should be fine.  Note that the LCD on the flash will indicate which mode it is with a little graphic.  On the D70 you had to switch between TTL and Commander mode to set it up to work using the built in flash as the commander, so you just have to switch back.

    Speedlight SB-600 Display flashing.
    My SB 600 is doing the exact same thing. I used Nikon's online support service and this is the response I got: "I would try doing the 2 button reset on the flash and then see if that helps. Also disconnect any battery packs you may have connected especially if its a third party battery pack. If none of the above work then please service the speedlight" Sounds like they don't know what it is, either. I tried the reset to no avail. I'm not sure I want to send it in to have it fixed, since it does seem to be working. But you're right, it's annoying.
