Nikon D70S Manuel D’Utilisation

Manual focus is available for lenses that do not 
sup port autofocus (non-AF Nikkor lens 

es) or 

when autofocus does not produce the desired 
re sults (

 73).  To focus manually, set the focus-

mode selector to M and adjust the lens focusing 
ring until the image displayed on the clear matte 
fi eld in the viewfi nder is in focus.  Pho to graphs 
can be taken at any time, even when the image 
is not in focus.

The Electronic Range Finder
If the lens has a maximum aperture of f/5.6 or 
faster, the viewfi nder fo cus indicator can be used 
to con fi rm whether the subject in the se lect ed fo-
cus area is in focus.  After positioning the sub ject 
in the active focus area, press the shut ter-re lease 
but ton half way and rotate the lens fo cus ing ring 
un til the in-fo cus in di ca tor (

●) is dis played.

When using a lens that offers A-M selection, select M when focusing manually.  With 
lenses that support M/A (autofocus with manual priority), focus can be adjusted man-
 u al ly with the lens set to M or M/A.  See the documentation provided with your lens 
for details.

To  determine the distance between your subject and 
the camera, measure from the focal plane mark on the 
camera body.  The distance between the lens mounting 
fl ange and the focal plane is 46.5 mm (1.83˝).
