A single lens reflex camera, commonly known as an SLR, is the type of camera used by professional photographers and serious hobbyists. The SLR uses a system of mirrors to bounce light from the lens to the viewfinder, ensuring that the image seen by the photographer is the image being captured on the film or digital image sensor. Single lens reflex cameras come in several varieties and configurations, including both film-based and digital camera format.

Wireless Lighting allows you to use up to 3 groups of remote flash speedlights and control the flash output of each group independently. Each group can have it’s exposure individually adjusted by a range of -3.0 to +3.0 EV steps. While this all seems complicated at first sight, Nikon has really made this almost idiot-proof — once you get past setting the Commander and Remote units to trigger properly.


Thats a standard definition! Hope it helps!
 
so this stuff will automatically black out the background
 
Pretty much...depending on how wide your tank is and if you have a black back ground.
