The Nikon D80 digital SLR camera was designed with a built-in flash, but you can attach a removable flash unit, such as the Nikon SB-600, for increased control over how the flash is used when shooting photographs. Unlike some flash units, the SB-600 does not require a wire to connect the flash to the camera. The accessory shoe on the D80 and the mounting foot on the SB-600 have contacts that connect the camera and the flash.
Instructions
1. Press and hold the "On/Off" button on the back of the Nikon SB-600 speedlight until the LCD screen turns off to power off the device.
2. Turn the power switch on the top and right of the Nikon D80 camera to the "OFF" position to turn off the camera.
3. Pull the cover off of the accessory shoe on the Nikon D80. The accessory shoe is the metal piece behind the built-in flash that is used to mount a separate flash unit to the camera.
4. Twist the mounting-foot lock lever on the SB-600 fully to the left, which is the unlock position. The mounting-foot lock is the dial located below the control panel on the back of the speedlight.
5. Slide the mounting foot on the bottom of the SB-600 into the accessory shoe on the top of the D80 camera. The control panel on the speedlight should face the back of the camera when inserting the mounting foot into the accessory shoe.
6. Twist the mounting-foot lock dial fully to the right to lock the SB-600 to the D80.
