Description: 6.1 MP Resolution; Fast Performance - Instant Startup, dynamic buffer for continuous shooting @ 3 fps; NEF and JPEG tandem shooting; Advanced Metering - 1005 pixel 3D Color Matrix Meter; precise 5 area auto-focus with focus tracking, Digital Vari-programing for automatically optimized exposures, 200 - 1600 ISO sensitivity, iTTL Flash control and 1/500 sec flash sync for balanced fill flash and creative lighting.The Nikon DX Format CCD image sensor is optimized to deliver a wide dynamic range that produces great pictures with high resolution and superbly sharp details. With 6.1 effective megapixels, the sensor produces 3,008 x 2,000-pixel images so you can make large prints and crop for creative detail. Each of the sensor's pixels incorporates individual micro-optics that precisely align the image from the camera's lens to optimize performance, whether using AF Nikkor lenses already owned or high quality DX Nikkor lenses designed as digital dedicated optics. Now optimized for the D70, Nikon's acclaimed 3D Color Matrix Meter with 1,005-pixel sensor takes data from the CCD image sensor for highly precise control over white balance. In addition to the auto TTL white balance setting, you can choose from six different manual modes with fine-tuning, or preset white balance. White balance bracketing is also available.The D70 can shoot a rapid 3 frames per second for a continuous burst of 144 pictures1 thanks to improved buffer memory handling, faster image processing, increased memory card access speed and greater system bus bandwidth. Nikon's 5-area Multi-CAM900 auto-focus with cross-type sensor in the center ensures a fast and precise focus lock and covers a broad area of the frame. Low light performance is excellent, and a convenient AF-assist illuminator adds additional help in dark situations. The handy multi selector on the camera's back makes it easy to select a specific focus area, and the selected area can be confirmed on the top control panel as well as the focus indicator in the viewfinder display. When shooting moving subjects, predictive focus tracking and Lock-on? help you achieve accurate focus by shifting instantly and automatically from your selected focus area to the one into which the subject has moved. Nikon's seven new Digital Vari-Programs make the D70 the right choice. Select the program to match your shot and it automatically optimizes white balance, sharpening, tone (contrast), color, saturation and hue for great results. For example, select Portrait for beautiful skin tones and soft background focus that highlights your subject; or choose from Auto, Landscape, Close-up, Sports, Night Portrait, or Night Landscape for similar automated performance. Easy to set image enhancement options optimize sharpening, tone (contrast), color, saturation and hue while using Auto Multi Program [P], Shutter-Priority Auto [S], Aperture-Priority Auto [A], or Manual [M] exposure modes to best match the scene or intended use for the picture. Choices include Normal, Vivid, Sharp, Soft, Direct print, Landscape or Custom optimization. Select ISO speeds from 200 to 1600 to assure broad performance through a wide range of lighting conditions. Or, opt to let AUTO ISO select the right sensitivity for the shot across the same range of lighting. Shutter speeds from 30 to 1/8,000 sec. provide broad creative control, and exposure compensation and auto exposure bracketing give you the versatility of choice. Three optimized TTL metering modes include Nikon's 3D Color Matrix Meter that uses the 1,005-pixel RGB sensor, variable Center-Weighted Meter and a choice of five Spot Meters. The built-in Speedlight automatically pops up and fires when natural lighting is inadequate or to add Balanced Fill-Flash when there is strong backlighting. i-TTL improves the accuracy of the monitor pre-flash used by the system's 1,005-pixel RGB sensor to evaluate flash exposure and perform an automatic balanced flash. The D70 lets you shoot at synchronized speeds up to 1/500 second for great fill effects under brighter light conditions. FV Lock maintains the measured flash value while recomposing the shot so you still achieve the appropriate flash output for the subject. And, flash exposure compensation lets you increase or reduce flash output for yet finer control over results. Minimize
