Control Details
The following is a partial list of the most common uses of housing and camera controls.
For the full list of camera functions and settings accessed by each control, you should
consult your D-70 camera instruction manual.
Please note that some of the FD-70N housing controls are designed to operate more than
one camera control. The command dial and sub-command dial will perform multiple
functions when operated in conjunction with other camera/housing controls.
