Tutorial—Basic Photography

Step 6—Take the Photograph

Smoothly press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down.

While the photograph is being recorded to the memory card after shooting, it will be displayed in the monitor (see opposite) and the access lamp next to the card slot cover will light. Do not eject the memory card, turn the camera off, or remove or disconnect the power source until the lamp has gone out. Removing the memory card or cutting power in these circumstances could result in loss of data.

Shutter Sound

The D70S is equipped with a combined electronic (CCD) and mechanical shutter. This shutter operates on a different principle from the mechanical shutters found in film cameras. As a result, the interval between the sounds made by the shutter and mirror will not decrease past a certain point, even at high shutter speeds.
