Tutorial—Digital Vari-Programs

Digital Vari-Programs

Creative Photography

The D70S offers a choice of seven Digital Vari-Pro-

gram modes. Selecting a program automatically

optimizes settings to suit the selected scene, mak-

ing creative photography as simple as rotating the

mode dial.

Digital Vari-Programs are available with CPU lenses only. When a non-CPU

lens is attached, the shutter release is disabled. See “Camera Settings” (

182) for information on the options available in Digital Vari-Program modes.

Portrait

Use for portraits. Main subject stands out clearly while

background details are softened, lending composition sense

of depth.

• Degree of softening depends on amount of light available.

Increase distance between subject and background or use

telephoto lens for best results.

• Flash set to front-curtain sync. Other modes can be selected ( 96).

Landscape

Use for vivid landscape shots that enhance outlines, colors,

and contrast in such subjects as skyscapes and forests.

• Use wide-angle lens for wider ﬁ eld of view.

• Built-in Speedlight and AF-assist illuminator turn off auto-

matically and will not ﬁ re even when lighting is poor.

Auto

Use for snapshots. Camera settings are automatically adjust-

ed according to subject and lighting, producing vivid, smooth

images with balanced saturation, color, and sharpness.

• Flash set to front-curtain sync. Other modes can be se-

lected ( 96).

Focus

Except in mode, the camera automatically selects the focus area containing the

subject closest to the camera. Once the camera has focused on this subject, a beep

will sound ( excepted), the selected focus area will be highlighted ( 8), and focus

will lock. If the subject moves out of the selected focus area before the camera has

focused, the camera will focus based on information from other focus areas.
