Nikon D70s manual Performance capable of capturing all the action in stride, Fast shutter speeds

Improved 5-area AF system NEW

Nikon’s advanced 5-area Multi-CAM900 autofocus system continues to feature a cross-type sensor in the center, broad frame coverage, as well as the same class-leading low light detection and convenient AF-assist illuminator that aid shooting in dark situations. New are refinements to deliver greater precision with fast, more consistent subject acquisition and improved

focus tracking when using Closest Subject Priority Dynamic AF or Dynamic AF mode with predictive f o c u s t r a c k i n g a n d Lock-on™.

The AF system automatically determines which focus area should be given priority, prevents the camera from focusing on the background, and improves the focus ‘hit rate’ when tracking the intended subject.

144-picture 3 fps continuous shooting

The D70s can shoot a rapid 3 frames per second for a continuous burst of 144 pictures* thanks to optimized systems throughout the camera, including high-speed buffer memory handling, fast image processing, high-speed memory card access, and large system bus bandwidth.

*When using JPEG NORMAL - Large setting, and a SanDisk SDCFH (ultra II), SDCFX (Extreme/Extreme III) or Lexar Media 80X WA CompactFlash™ card

Near-instant power-up and quick response

(0.2 sec. power-up and short shutter release lag)

Turn on the D70s and, with a power-up time of a mere 0.2 seconds, it’s ready to shoot immediately. Press the shutter button and it responds without hesitation. Nikon’s 5-area Multi-CAM900 autofocus with AF-assist illuminator ensures a fast and precise focus under even challenging lighting conditions. Pictures taken are processed and recorded extremely quickly. Preview images appear on the LCD monitor almost instantly. And, high-speed continuous shooting means never falling behind the pace of the action or missing the heartbeat of the moment.

Fast shutter speeds

(1/8,000 sec. maximum shutter speed & 1/500 sec. flash sync)

Shutter speeds from 30 to 1/8,000 sec. and flash-synchronized shutter speeds of up to 1/500 sec. provide a photo experience with greater breadth and creative flexibility to catch more of those precious moments.
