Nikon D70 manual 103, Select FV Lock for Custom Setting 15 AE- L/AF-L, Photography

FV Lock

This feature is used to lock flash output, allowing photographs to be re- composed without changing the flash level. This ensures that flash output is appropriate to the subject even when the subject is not positioned in the center of the frame. Flash output is adjusted automatically for any changes in sensitivity (ISO equivalency) or aperture. To use FV lock:
