Nikon D600

Review this page for information about the Nikon D600 and its performance with PocketWizard radios.

D600 Specific Operational Considerations

The following operational considerations apply only to the D600.

Camera Firmware

For best results, use the latest camera body firmware and distortion control lens data. The latest firmware for the D600 is C:1.02, available for download at Nikon USA and Nikon Europe. The latest distortion control lens data for the D600 is L:2.005, available for download at Nikon Imaging.

Flash Sync Speed - Custom Camera Setting

When using the D600 and ControlTL radios the camera's "Flash Sync Speed" setting must be set to "1/200 s (Auto FP)." This setting can be found in the "Bracketing/Flash" Custom Settings menu. This is different from other Nikon cameras, which require a Flash Sync Speed setting of 1/250 s (Auto FP).

Frame Clipping

Some clipping may occur at fast Rear Curtain Sync capable shutter speeds, for example 1/125, or at some High Speed Sync (HSS) shutter speeds if a MASTER Speedlight is in use on-camera and all 3 remote zones are engaged. This will not occur when using an AC3 ZoneController.

Camera Battery Power

This camera will only perform as expected with the ControlTL system if the camera’s battery is 60% or greater. Always make sure the camera’s battery is fully charged before use.

For best performance with a battery grip, use the setting "Use Camera Battery First," d13 in the camera's Custom Setting Menu.

HyperSync Performance

Sorry! We don't have any HyperSync results available for this camera yet. To share your own, please contact PocketWizard tech support.

Learn how to configure your radios for best HyperSync performance on our HyperSync Setup page.
