Thanks for that. Was actually deciding whether to add it, 'cos it's not an issue/problem which is highly specific to the D70. Still, it's informative for D70 users... since there are so many.

While we're talking about colour spaces, I added two more threads about this issue.

Good job there acroamatic. I am sticking this thread up in this forum

 

[acroamatic]

Thanks, Avatar!

Everyone, please note for simplicity's sake that the most updated FAQ list will be the first post in this thread. Otherwise too much scrolling if the FAQ is repeated more than once on a page.

PM me to point out good threads. I'll add them to the FAQ.

P.S. Added a few relevant threads and websites to the FAQ .

 

[acroamatic]

FAQ updated: one link removed.

Thanks, MountainMan for pointing out the uninformative thread!

excellent... just what the doctor ordered!

 

[Life is good]

great information to share! Thank you guys!

tecrec pointed out a dead link (thanks!), which I have removed.

I'm surprised people are still finding this thread useful. I thought most people would have moved on to newer models already.

My D70 is currently on loan to a friend, and it is still going strong!
