Nikon D70 Manuel D’Utilisation

Shooting mode determines how the camera takes pho to graphs: one at a 
time, in a continuous sequence, with a timed shutter-release delay, or using 
a remote control.

Camera takes one photograph each time shutter release button is 
pressed.  Access lamp will light while photo is recorded; next shot can 
be taken immediately if enough space remains in memory buffer.

Single 
frame

Shutter release controlled using optional ML-L3 remote.  Camera 
focuses when shutter-release button on ML-L3 is pressed; shutter is 
released after 2 s delay (

 107).  Gives operator time to pose when 

taking self-portrait using remote control.

Delayed 

remote

Shutter release controlled using optional ML-L3 remote.  When shut-
ter-release button on ML-L3 is pressed, camera releases shutter imme-
diately after focusing (

 107).  Ensures quick shutter response; can be 

used to reduce blurring caused by camera shake.

Quick-

response 

remote

Camera records photographs at up to about three frames per second

*

 

while shut ter-re lease but ton is held down.

Continuous

Use self-timer for self-portraits or to reduce blurring caused by camera 
shake (

 105).

Self-timer

* Average frame rate in mode M  with manual focus, 

shutter speed of ½

50

 s or faster, and memory re main ing 

in memory buffer.  Number of pictures that can be 
stored in buffer depends on options selected for im-
age quality and size (see table at right).  Additional 
photographs can be taken as soon as enough memory 
is available in buffer.

Note that all pictures taken in continuous mode are 
recorded at the orientation for the fi rst picture in each 
series, even if the camera orientation is changed dur-
ing shooting.  For example, if the fi rst picture is taken 
with the camera in horizontal orientation, all pictures 
in the series will be recorded in “wide” (landscape) 
orientation, even if the camera is rotated to vertical 
orientation during shooting.
