FOCUS AREA + The N70's autofocus system offers a choice of two focus areas: Wide and Spot. While pressing focus area button, rotate command dial until the desired symbol r I for Wide Area or 0 for Spot Area- appears in LCD panel.
G Spot Area AF Spot Area AF, in which the focus detecting area is shown by the 3mm-dia . circ le at the center of the viewfnder, is recommended in the following situations: a. Subject considerab ly smaller than the Wide -Area focus brackets' b . Subject obscured by an object , such as a fence, in the foreground • Lock focus.
FOCUS MODE AUTOFOCUS + ~ + ~ For autofocus, set the focus mode se l ector at AF . The Nikon N70 has two autofocus modes, focus-priority Sing le Servo AF and release-priority Continuous Servo AF.
A F- S Single Servo AF You lightly press shutter release button, the lens starts adjusting for focus. Because the priority is on correct focus, the shutter locks until the stationary subject is in focus (with . ) or until the moving subjects expected to be in focus (with .
If ~ -4 blinks in the viewfinder: Moving subject is expected to be in focus Autofocus is not possible (see page 38) and shutter locks. • Single SeNo AF is convenient for off - center subjects.
A F- C Continuous Servo AF with Release-Priority Under some conditions, such as very fast action situations, you may want to take a picture even if focus has not been successfully accomplished.

Manual focus using clear matte field 42 Look through viewfinder and rotate lens focusing ring until image on clear matte field appears sharp..
EXPOSURE METERING SYSTEM SELECTING METERING SYSTEM IWl Matrix Metering This system is ideal for quick operation in any exposure mode (pages 46 to 60). With D- type AF Nikkor lenses (inc l uding AF -S/ AF-I Nikkor l enses), 3D Matrix Metering is automatically activated.
COO] Center-Weighted Metering With approx . 75 % of the meter's sensitivity concentrated on the 12mm-dia. circle in th e viewf in der and approx. 25 % outside this c i rc l e, thi s meter becomes useful in sit u at i ons w h ere you want to base exposure on a specific area in the scene.
SETIING METERING SYSTEM + + The Nikon N70 ha s three ty pe of exposure metering systems- Matrix Metering , Center - Weighted Metering and Spot Meter i ng. Hold FUNCTION button and rotate command dial until the Function Area indicator appears in the Metering System Area and 1Wl , [iiJ or [0] blinks .
EXPOSURE MODE Light reaching the film is controlled by shutter speed and l ens aperture. The proper combination results in a correc t exposure. Shutter speed and lens aperture settings are based on the ISO speed set for the film in use and the operation of th e camera's exposure control system.
Programmed Au t o exposure modes (P I P s ) With the N70 ' s microcomputer choosing the combination of shutter speed and aperture automatically, you can concentrate on picture composition , without worrying about exposure.
Shutter-Priority Auto exposure mode You manually set the shutter speed you want. To freeze the action, use a high shutter speed; to create motion effects, choose a slower shutter speed. The N70's microcomputer automatically sets the proper aperture to match the manually se l ected shutter speed for correc t exposure.

GLOSSARY AE (Automatic Exposure) lock Used to hold an automatically controlled shutter speed and/or aperture. Recommended when the photographer wants to control an exposure based on a scene's particular brightness area with Center-We i ghted or Spot Metering.
Depth of field The zone of sharpest focus in front of, behind and around the subject on which the lens is focused. When this zone of s harpness is large , the depth of field is said to be deep ; when it is small, the depth of field is said to be shallow.
Exposure control Programmed Auto: Camera sets both shutter speed and aperture for correct exposure. N70 camera applies two Programmed Auto Exposure Control, Auto-Multi Program and Vari-Program. Shutter-Priority Auto: User selects shutter speed and camera sets matching lens aperture for correct exposure.
Focus Tracking Enables the camera to analyze the speed of the moving subject according to the focus data detected , and to obtain correct focus by anticipating the subject's position-and driving the lens to that position-at the exact moment of exposure.
Hyp e rfocal distance The closest point a photographer can focus on where the depth of field includes infinity. When the lens is focused for hyperfocal distance , the deepest depth of field, covering from 1 /2 the hyperfocal distance to infinity, can be obtained at each f /s top.
Standard TTL Flash A type of TIL auto flash that does n ot apply any automa ti c flash output level compensation. Fl ash output is controlled independently from the amb i ent lig ht exposure measureme.

Ein wichtiger Punkt beim Kauf des Geräts Nikon N70 (oder sogar vor seinem Kauf) ist das durchlesen seiner Bedienungsanleitung. Dies sollten wir wegen ein paar einfacher Gründe machen:
Wenn Sie Nikon N70 noch nicht gekauft haben, ist jetzt ein guter Moment, um sich mit den grundliegenden Daten des Produkts bekannt zu machen. Schauen Sie zuerst die ersten Seiten der Anleitung durch, die Sie oben finden. Dort finden Sie die wichtigsten technischen Daten für Nikon N70 - auf diese Weise prüfen Sie, ob das Gerät Ihren Wünschen entspricht. Wenn Sie tiefer in die Benutzeranleitung von Nikon N70 reinschauen, lernen Sie alle zugänglichen Produktfunktionen kennen, sowie erhalten Informationen über die Nutzung. Die Informationen, die Sie über Nikon N70 erhalten, werden Ihnen bestimmt bei der Kaufentscheidung helfen.
Wenn Sie aber schon Nikon N70 besitzen, und noch keine Gelegenheit dazu hatten, die Bedienungsanleitung zu lesen, sollten Sie es aufgrund der oben beschriebenen Gründe machen. Sie erfahren dann, ob Sie die zugänglichen Funktionen richtig genutzt haben, aber auch, ob Sie keine Fehler begangen haben, die den Nutzungszeitraum von Nikon N70 verkürzen könnten.
Jedoch ist die eine der wichtigsten Rollen, die eine Bedienungsanleitung für den Nutzer spielt, die Hilfe bei der Lösung von Problemen mit Nikon N70. Sie finden dort fast immer Troubleshooting, also die am häufigsten auftauchenden Störungen und Mängel bei Nikon N70 gemeinsam mit Hinweisen bezüglich der Arten ihrer Lösung. Sogar wenn es Ihnen nicht gelingen sollte das Problem alleine zu bewältigen, die Anleitung zeigt Ihnen die weitere Vorgehensweise – den Kontakt zur Kundenberatung oder dem naheliegenden Service.
