Fast shutter speeds (1/8,000 sec. maximum shutter speed & 1/500 sec. flash sync) Shutter speeds from 30 to 1/8,000 sec. and flash-synchronized shutter speeds of up to 1/500 sec. provide a photo experience with greater breadth and creative flexibility to catch more of those precious moments.

Performance that produces great pictures with pure color fidelity Vivid color and sharp details with high resolution and wide dynamic range Advanced image processing engine The D70s’s advanced System LSI processor produces images with pure, vivid colors and maximum clarity. Auto white balance, auto tone and color control are optimized, while real-time processes diminish digital noise in long exposure shots. Processed images are ready to print right from the camera, minimizing time spent to achieve pleasing results. The image processing engine also maximizes system performance to ensure fast file compression, high-speed data handling in memory, fast simultaneous recording of JPEG and NEF files, and near-instant display of images.
