Nikon D70 manual Exposure Warning, IndicatorDescription, Color Space, A, and M Modes

Tutorial—Digital Vari-Programs

Night portrait

Provides natural balance between main subject and back- ground in portraits taken under low light. Lighting for por- trait subject will seem natural even when flash is used.

•Tripod, self-timer ( 105), and/or optional remote control

( 107) can be used to prevent blurring at slow shutter speeds. At speeds slower than 1 s, use noise reduction to reduce mottling ( 133).

•Use mode for night shots that do not include portrait subject.

•Flash set to slow sync. Other modes can be selected ( 94).

Exposure Warning

If the limits of the exposure metering system are exceeded, one of the following indi- cators will be displayed in the control panel and viewfinder:

IndicatorDescription

Subject too bright. Use optional Neutral Density (ND) filter. Subject too dark. Raise sensitivity (ISO equivalency; 46).

Color Space

Photos taken in Digital Vari-Program modes are recorded in the sRGB color space ( 59).

Self-Timer and Remote Control Modes

The self-timer and remote control can be used to allow photographers to appear in their own photographs or prevent blur caused by the camera moving when the shut- ter-release button is pressed. At default settings, the self-timer delays shutter release until about ten seconds after the shutter-release button is pressed. For details, see “Taking Photographs: The Self-Timer” ( 105). The optional ML-L3 remote control can be used to release the shutter remotely, either instantaneously or with a two-sec- ond delay. See “Taking Photographs: Using the Remote Control” ( 107).

P, S, A, and M Modes

In addition to the settings available in mode, P, S, A, and M modes offer control over such settings as shutter speed and aperture, white balance, image op- timization, and exposure compensation. See “Taking Photographs” ( 35).
