(contrast), color, saturation and
hue settings to best match the
selected scene, making creative
photography as simple as rotating
the mode dial. Choose from Auto,
Portrait, Landscape, Close Up,
Sports, Night Landscape, or
Night Portrait for automated
performance that makes the
D70s the right choice, whether
you are still learning how to make
great pictures or an experienced
photographer simply in a hurry to
capture precious moments.
Exposure mode settings provide
greater personal control over
camera operation. [P] Auto Multi Program mode automatically sets
the shutter speed and aperture, and includes Flexible Program for
quick selection of alternate exposure-combination settings. [S]
Shutter-Priority Auto offers a choice of shutter speeds from 1/8,000
to 30 seconds. [A] Aperture-Priority Auto allows free selection from
the complete range of aperture settings. And, [M] Manual gives full
control over shutter speed and aperture.
Image enhancement options
When using Auto Multi Program [P], Shutter-Priority Auto [S],
Aperture-Priority Auto [A], or Manual [M] exposure modes,
easy-to-set image enhancement options optimize sharpening,
tone (contrast), color, saturation and hue to best match the scene
or intended use for the picture. Choices include Normal, Vivid,
Sharp, Soft, Direct print, Landscape or Custom optimization.
Precise white balance control
The D70s produces natural coloration by matching white balance to
the light source of the shot. Advanced Auto white balance handles
most situations, but the flexible options include a choice of six
specific manual settings with fine-tuning, (Incandescent, Fluorescent,
Direct Sunlight, Flash, Cloudy, and Shade), as well as a preset option
for using a gray or white object as a reference for white balance.

Auto: Makes it easy to produce vivid, smooth snapshots
with balanced saturation, color, and sharpness.
Portrait: Produces beautiful skin tones and highlights the
subject by softening background details.
Landscape: Produces vivid landscape shots with enhanced
outlines, colors, and contrast.
Close Up: Makes the subject stand out clearly in close-up
shots of flowers, insects, and other small objects.
Sports : Uses high shutter speeds to freeze motion for
dynamic sports shots in which the subject stands out clearly.
Night Landscape: Slow shutter speeds produce stunning
shots while minimizing low-light imperfections.
Night Portrait : Provides natural balance between the
subject and background in portraits taken under low light.
Exposure modes: Auto Multi Program [P], Shutter-Priority
Auto [S], Aperture-Priority Auto [A], or Manual [M] exposure
mode settings
Exposure metering options
Nikon's 1,005-pixel RGB Exposure/Color Matrix Metering Sensor
evaluates brightness, color, contrast, selected focus area, and
subject-to-camera distance information, references the results against
an onboard database of 30,000 scenes from actual photography, and
then uses high-speed processing to deliver consistently dependable
automatic exposure. Variable center-weighted metering and a choice
of five spot meters are also available, as is exposure compensation
and auto exposure bracketing.
Built-in Speedlight with i-TTL flash control
(with wider angle coverage)
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. With a new optimized design for the D70s, flash
coverage has been increased to support lenses as wide as 18mm.

Creative Lighting System support
A major benefit of the D70s's built-in flash is that it adopts Nikon's
highly robust and advanced i-TTL flash control, technology that
leads the industry in vastly expanding the possibilities for using
creative lighting in photography. The built-in Speedlight also works
with the Creative Lighting System, serving as a remote commander
that controls one group of multiple wireless SB-600 or SB-800
Speedlights. Alternately, attach an SB-800 and control up to 3
wireless remote groups, each consisting of any number of SB-800 or
SB-600 Speedlight units.
