: I have been using the "P" program mode for indoor flash use. it usually gives me 1/125th shutter at f3.5, which sometimes is slightly out of focus depending on lighting, and spot metering accuracy. I have tried setting to "S" shutter priority mode, and when i set shutter to either 1/125th of 1/60th, it says my exposure is going to be off. Why is this? It appears that if i had the same setting that the "P" program mode calculated, why is it saying im off in the shutter priority mode? I am wanting to use a fstop of 4.5-5.6 at 1/60th, but just unsure how to go about it using the cameras speedlight. What is the correct way to set the camera to take flashes without using the "P" program mode?
: thank you
It looks as if you are using a very slow film speed with the built-in speedlight.
Either try a higher speed (ISO 200 or better yet, 400) or use an external speedlight. Automatic balanced fill-flash with TTL is possible in the N70 with the Nikon SB28, 27, 23, 22, etc.
Have a great time :-)
