Cant get remote to work on my nikon d70 camera

Set the camera to one of the two remote modes. The quick-response remote mode fires the camera when you press the button. The delayed remote mode gives you two seconds to hide the remote behind your back before firing.

See "Remote Control Photography" beginning on page 70 of the manual: http://download3.nikonimglib.com/archive1/nDjd000XOIQF00mktpj7624w9V96/D5300RM_(En)01.pdf . Just pretend you have the Nikon ML-L3.

There is an easy way to check if the problem is the remote or the receiver of the TV. Take your phone and use the camera feature to look at the remote control infrared light. When you press the power button you should see the infrared light blinking the same way it should blink when you press the channel button. If there is no blinking when you press the power button then the control is faulty. You will need to use a camera of some type because we cannot see infrared with our own eyes unless looking through a camera.

If you're asking about an infrared remote control then yes. It will work with the ML-L3 remote or equivalent. You will have to set the shooting mode to one of the two remote modes to do so.

If you're asking about taking infrared pictures then not so well. The camera has an infrared filter that masks out most infrared light from reaching the sensor. There are companies such as LifePixel which will remove the infrared filter to convert your camera into an infrared camera.

Just to be sure, you are setting the camera to one of the remote modes? If you're not, the camera will ignore the infrared remote.

You need to set the camera's release mode to one of the available remote modes. As a minimum there should be a remote mode which fires the shutter when you push the button on the remote and a delayed remote mode which gives you two seconds to hide the remote behind your back. Since you neglected to specify the model of your Nikon dSLR I can't tell you exactly how to change the release mode. Refer to your camera's manual, or else reply to this post and specify the model.

Read the manual. Not got one? download from www.nikonusa.com. You can set from 1 minmute to 10 minutes.

Set the camera's shooting mode to one of the two remote modes. The quick-response remote mode fires the shutter when you push the button on the remote. The delayed remote mode gives you two seconds to hide the remote behind your back before firing the shutter. Now point the remote at the infrared sensor on the front of the camera and push the button. If the camera fires, then everything is working.

You might also try wiping both the infrared sensor on the camera and the emitter on the remote with a soft clean cloth.

The Achiever Flash 630AF is for Film Cameras and will not work properly on the Digital D70 camera.

Hi, The problem with your camera is the power switch under the top cover needs to be repaired Or replaced by a camera repair tec, I have repaired this problem many times, Not a quick fix.

The higher the ISO setting the more grain in the photo. Have you somehow set the ISO to say, 1600? http://www.nikondigitutor.com/eng/d70s/select.php?menu=1&sub=b11&num=12 Select ISO setting this way: http://www.nikondigitutor.com/eng/d70s/select.php?menu=1&sub=b05&num=10 Are you shooting in low-light situations (typically indoor)? Try shooting bright scenes and Auto mode, or manually set ISO to 100 or 200 and see if noise persists.
