Today I found out that the D70 can be controlled by any Universal remote.
I heard that the Sears TV on/off IR code is the same as The Shutter Release code on the D70.
So I figured I would try it out. I have a Pronto TSU-2000, the IR code for this can be downloaded at: D70 IR Code
But I have heard it was done using a Radioshack Universal Remote Using the Code 1066. But it should work with any Universal Remote, Just Play Around with the Sears Brand TV on/Off Codes.
Also, Besides the ML-L3 remote the ML-L1 Remote Will also work with the D70.
If you have Nikon Capture 4 and a usb cable you can also remotely fire the camera this way using Nikon Capture 4.
If You Have any Tips and Tricks Please Contribute. |

This fired my imagination to build such a robotic "arm" that would be totally software controlled, you actually look throught the lens on your computer screen. Something like live feed from the CCD, although this would require motorized zoom as well, which could prove difficult. Probably will remain a wet dream of mine :)
Ever wondered how the "Image Dust Off" feature works with D70? I have.
And found an article on it spot on »
And FYI, the D70 has no infrared light (EDIT: blocking) filter, so it is capable of infrared photography - although I don't know how, beside getting a purple spot in the image with my TV remote pointed to the lens...
EDIT2: Just remembered, you can "teach" any universal remote control to release shutter under any button you would like. You just need borrow the original remote for recording the code. Just set the universal remote into a recording mode and point the Nikon remote towards the sensor and press the button. This way the universal remote "learns" the signal and can be used to emulate the original remote :) Hope it was not too difficult... |

For infrared photography you will need an infrared filter. There are different levels of IR filters but the Hoya R72 is a very good filter for most IR scenes. Not sure about online prices, they run around $60 in local camera shops here. |

Hi everybody,
Interesting ideas here. I have so many "things" I want to get for my camera. The top of the list is a quality lens or two. Then, I know Canon has a remote as well, but am unsure if it can be set up for a universal remote application.
Fotoeye75- Have you tried IR with your Canon? Would love to see some photos if you have.
Thank you all.
Best wishes!
Bradley

I've seen IR shots from the canon and they looked great. Looked just like film IR, except of course no grain. I haven't gotten a filter myself yet, too much equipment on my list ahead of it. |

I have the hoya infrared filter, works like a charm. But it's difficult with a 2 - 3 stop barrier , or above the reading on your camera. |

Please explain. Where's the barrier and why? |

Working with JPEG data, without further losses
One additional option you have when using Nikon Capture is to save as a NEF file. If you start with a JPEG file, make some adjustments, and choose "Save As", you can save that file as "filename.nef". This will save your ORIGINAL JPEG DATA inside a NEF file, along with all of your changes. This means that you will not lose any quality from saving multiple times because the image data is not being recompressed each time. When you reopen the NEF file, the original JPEG data will be opened again, and the changes will be reapplied. Using this method, you can work on an image in several sessions, and only recompress and save as JPEG when you are completely finished with it. Also, the NEF file will only be slightly larger than the original JPEG file.

Demonike, I think the 2-3 stop barrier Subman refers to is the exposure compensation required when you use the Hoya R72 IR pass filter. Although, on my camera, that filter is more like 5-7 stops off what the camera indicates for auto exposure while the R72 is in place... |
