*1 3D Matrix Metering is selected with D-type AF Nikkor lenses and Advanced Matrix Metering is
selected with non-D-type lenses.
*2 With maximum effective aperture of f/5.6 or faster.
*3 With maximum aperture of f/5.6 or faster.
*4 AI-modification is no longer available.
*5 Set shutter speed to 1/100 sec. or slower.
*6 Because the diaphragm is coupled to the focusing ring, determining exposure is independent from
camera’s metering system.
*7 Some lenses cannot be attached to the F70/F70D camera. (See page 114).
*8 Aperture cannot be selected.
*9 Without shifting and/or tilting the lens.
*10 Set preset ring, then use AE-lock lever before shifting.
*11 Set preset ring, then determine exposure before shifting.
*12 The camera's exposure metering and flash control system do not work properly when shifting
and/or tilting the lens, or when using an aperture other than the maximum aperture.
*13 Shutter should be released after exposure is measured by stopping down PB-6.
*14 K1 Ring cannot be attached to AF Nikkor lenses. The ring may damage CPU contacts. Use PK-11A
or BR-6 instead.
*15 Stop-down exposure measurement will be performed.
*16 PK-1, PK-2, PK-3 and PN-1 Rings cannot be attached to the F70/F70D camera. PK-11 Ring cannot
be attached to AF Nikkor lenses. Those rings may damage CPU contacts. Use PK-11A for AF Nikkor
lenses instead of PK-11.
