• Covers the original D70, the updated D70, and the D70s. It doesn't matter which D70 model you've got--it's covered in this eBook.
• Nikon flash and autofocus modes explained in plain English! Wonder how the new I-TTL flash works? Can't figure out Dynamic autofocus, Release Priority, Focus Priority, Closest Focus Priority, and a host of other terms used to describe features of the focusing system? Thom Hogan's Complete Guide to the Nikon D70 and D70s explains these terms and accompanying techniques in the same simple, no-nonsense language that made his Nikon Field Guide a best seller.
• A complete instruction manual and an introduction to relevant digital issues in one book. Thom Hogan's Complete Guide to the Nikon D70 and D70s manages to not only fully describe every feature of the D70 and D70s in clear, easy-to-understand language, but gives you rich, technical background for many of the critical issues that confront digital camera users.
• Includes useful Photoshop Actions and Depth of Field spreadsheet. On the disc is Thom's Excel spreadsheet, which allows you to calculate depth of field and hyperfocal distance for any Nikon lens used with the D70 and D70s (note that depth of field on a digital body like the D70 series is not the same as it is for 35mm film). But that's not all! You'll also get Excel workbooks for macro and flash (know how to calculate the GN of multiple flashes or the effective GN when bouncing? You will if buy this book!).
