Nikon D70 Digital SLR camera review - Reviews Index

Front of the D70 Camera
 This where we find the lens and not too much else but it of
course the side of the camera that takes the pictures. On the D70 the
Built-in Speedlight lock release button, also doubles as the Flash Sync
mode button, and Flash exposure compensation button. Almost invisible
is the Infrared receiver just above the D70 emblem. There is also the
Lens release button and the Focus-mode selector.
On the front left of the camera we have the Sub-command dial and the
combination Self-timer lamp, AF-assist illuminator, and Red-eye
reduction lamp. Plus of course the depth of field preview button.

2. Self-timer
lamp, AF-assist illuminator, and Red-eye reduction lamp -
Self-timer lamp - will
blink and then light for one second before shutter is released

Red-eye reduction lamp - reduces red-eye cause by direct flash from the
camera.

Front
right of
camera :
1.
Speedlight lock release button, Flash
sync mode button, and Flash exposure compensation button -
Speedlight lock release - push the button and the internal flash
will pop open. The internal flash will not open if a Nikon Speedlight
is attached to the hot shoe and turned on.
Flash sync mode
- push the button and rotate the Main command dial to access different
flash modes. Flash modes will be visible on the LCD control panel and
the analog digital display in the viewfinder.
Flash exposure
compensation - push the button and rotate the sub-command dial
to access Flash exposure compensation levels.
2. Infrared receiver
-
The infrared receiver is for remote control use. (Nikon Remote Control,
ML-L3)
3. Lens release
button
The lens release button is somewhat self explanatory. Hold your camera
with your left hand. Push the lens release button down with your left
hand thumb, turn the lens to the right and lift gently to remove.
Reverse the procedure to attach a lens. Always try to keep the camera
body covered - dust is your enemy.
4. Focus mode
selector
AF (Auto focus) and M (Manual) selector
(Sorry if part of this page is still under construction - I must sleep
now - a nasty nightly habit I wish I could do without)
