Nikon D70: Menu System Walkthrough with Explanations

The Nikon D70 was an early DSLR made, as of this video's recording, 20 years ago. At two decades old, the D70 can still take nice photos with it's six-megapixel CCD sensor and beefy (for the time) feature set. This video series reviews the Nikon D70, covers all of the features and functions, and explains how each of the camera's many settings affects your photography. The first video covers the camera's interface and layout and explains some simple functions. The second video provides a detailed operational rundown. This third video explores and explains the menu system in full.

Another excellent tutorial.

[@user-pi3pz5hn8p]

Thanks for a great series - watched all of them. I believe that ISO AUTO will allow ISO shifts only for flash operation. Modern cameras will shift ISO depending on exposure without flash.

[@DavidHancock]

Thank you!

[@hramakrishnaiah413]

It was my first digital camera....

[@DavidHancock]

Nice!

Hello David, Love your D70 videos, I wanted to ask why does my D70 menu seem to end in 09?

[@DavidHancock]

IIRC, there's an option to expand the menu. It should be under the CSM menu an the option would be something like simple or expanded. You may be set to simple.

@@DavidHancock YES! Thank you, I have been beating my heard over this for about a month!
