Large 2.0” LCD monitor and new menu design
A new menu design combining a carefully selected color scheme,
the right amount of contrast, and larger fonts makes the user-friendly
keywords of the menu displays easier to view and quicker to recognize.
Playback options on the new 2.0-inch LCD monitor include single
frame, 4 or 9-image thumbnail display, zoom with scroll (up to 4.7x),
automatic slide show, histogram indication, and highlight point display.
New higher energy lithium-ion battery
The new EN-EL3a rechargeable lithium-ion battery
increases energy capacity to deliver enough
power to shoot as many as 2,500 images per
charge*, all while maintaining the same form factor
as the EN-EL3 battery. The new Quick Charger
MH-18a is smaller than the charger it replaces,
and is capable of charging both the EN-EL3a and
EN-EL3 batteries. When the need arises, the D70s
can also be run using CR2 batteries. (Requires the
optional CR2 battery holder, MS-D70).
Multi selector and Nikon ergonomics
provide greater operating ease
The handy four-direction multi selector
on the camera’s back makes it easy to
select a specic focus area when using
Single AF or Dynamic AF modes, or
to navigate menus and control image
playback. The light, compact camera
body ts the hand well and ensures easy
access to controls, which themselves are
designed and logically placed for ease
of use. This includes the Mode dial and
Help button, as well as the Main and Sub
Command Dials that facilitate easy control
over settings and smooth single-handed
operation. The large LCD data control
panel atop the camera body allows quick
conrmation of important settings. One
example of attention to detail is the change in sound frequency
used for D70s system beeps, making them more clearly audible.
Viewnder
The bright optical viewnder features Vari-Brite Focus Area
display, which makes focus conrmation easier by automatically
superimposing the selected focus area in black when lighting is
sufcient, but momentarily illuminating it in red when shooting in
dim light or focusing on a dark-colored subject. On-Demand grid
lines superimpose a grid over the viewnder that can prove helpful
for architectural photography or shooting landscapes
that include horizons. A digital readout along the
bottom displays valuable information on settings and
camera status.
Remote cord support
The new Remote Cord (MC-DC1) adds
greater convenience and ease of
use in a wider variety of shooting
situations, including long exposures
and close-ups. The optional Wireless
Remote Control ML-L3 can also be used
with the D70s.
Remote camera control support
Using the supplied USB cable to connect the D70s to a computer
running Nikon Capture 4 software enables remote control from the
computer over most shooting
settings as well as triggering
of the shutter release. Images
can be downloaded directly to
the computer, eliminating the
need to change memory cards
while shooting.
