Nikon D70SBODY Remote Cord Connector Cover, Exposure Warning, IndicatorDescription, Color Space

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 ML-L3 remote

control ( 107) or MC-DC1 remote cord ( 191) can be used to prevent blurring at slow shutter speeds. At speeds slower than 1 s, use noise re- duction 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 ( 96).

The Remote Cord Connector Cover

To prevent moisture entering via the remote cord connector from damaging the cam- era, keep the remote cord connector cover closed in wet or humid environments.

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

Digital Vari-Program modes use the sRGB color space ( 59).

The Self-Timer, Remote Control, and Remote Cord

The self-timer and optional remote accessories can be used to operate the shutter remotely and prevent blur caused by camera shake. At default settings, the self- timer delays shutter release until about ten seconds after the shutter-release button is pressed ( 105). The optional ML-L3 remote control offers instantaneous remote release and remote release with a two-second delay ( 107), while the optional MC- DC1 remote cord can be used for remote release and features a shutter-release button lock (see the MC-DC1 instruction manual for details).

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).
