Nikon D70 modifications


Has anyone here looked at modifying the D70 firmware to do things like MLU?

Does anyone have any photos of the micro electronics?

Thanks

Yes, and no. There's actually a Yahoo Group dedicated to modifying Nikon D70 firmware.

The only problem is that D70 isn't like DRebel, with some features deliberatly turned off. As far as I can tell, tinkering with the mechanism, you can't do mirror lockup on D70 because the first shutter curtain is mechanically triggered by the mirror going up. No firmware hack can change that. There is a 1/16000 sec top shutter speed that has been disabled in the firmware, but looking at the color shading problems that appear at the 1/8000 sec speed, there's probably a good reason that speeds above 1/8000 sec are disabled.
