The D70 offers a combination of personal control
and powerful automatic operation that helps
you achieve great results under even complex
shooting conditions. Seven new Digital Vari-
Program selections for ultimate automatic operation
optimize white balance, sharpening, tone, color,
saturation and hue for crisp and vivid results.
For example, Portrait Program reproduces
beautiful skin tones and texture with soft focus in
the background that highlights the subject.
The other programs provide Auto, Landscape,
Close-up, Sports, Night landscape, and Night
portrait optimization.
Outstanding image quality starts with optimized
exposure, including accurate Auto White Balance
and Auto Tone Control. The D70 offers three TTL
metering methods, including Nikon’s acclaimed
3D Color Matrix Meter with 1,005-pixel RGB
Sensor, Center-Weighted Meter and
choice of Spot Meters.
ISO selection covers 200 to 1600 to
match most any lighting condition.
Shutter speeds from 30 to 1/8,000 s
provide full creative control, while auto exposure
bracketing helps deliver the exact results you
desire. Nikon’s built-in iTTL automatic balanced Fill-
Flash can shoot at synchronized speeds up to 1/500 s
for great ll effects under brighter light conditions.
