Nikon D70S User Manual

In 

 mode, the camera automatically sets shut-

ter speed and aperture when the shutter-release 
button is pressed halfway.  Before shooting, check 
the shut ter-speed and aperture in di ca tors in the 
viewfi nder.  If the photo would be overexposed 
at cur rent settings, 

  will be displayed; use an 

optional Neutral Density (ND) fi lter.  If the photo 
would be underexposed, the built-in Speedlight 
will pop up automatically, and fi re when the pho-
tograph is taken.

If additional lighting is required for correct exposure in 

,  ,  , and   modes, the built-in Speedlight will pop 

up automatically when the shutter-release is pressed 
halfway (

 94).  When the built-in Speedlight is raised, 

photographs can only be taken when the fl ash-ready 
indicator is displayed.  If the fl ash-ready indicator is not 
displayed, remove your fi nger  briefl y from the shutter-
release button and try again.

If desired, the fl ash can be turned off so that it will not 
fi re even when lighting is poor.  A red-eye reduction 
mode is also available for reducing “red-eye” caused by 
light refl ecting from the subject’s retinas (

 95).

To save battery power when the Speedlight is not in use, return it to the closed position 
by pressing it gently downward until the latch clicks into place.
