How do I set the shutter speed on my D70?

[Michael Fanelli]

Turn off the flash (built-in or external). The D70 flash syncs up to 1/500 and the camera won't go beyond that value if you've told it to use flash.

BTW I think that Michael is using Canon-talk when he mentions Tv mode. I can't give you the Nikon equivalent - my manual is in French.

Odd. The standard symbol for shutter priority is Tv, aperture priroity is Av. This has been true since at least the 1970s across all makes of cameras. Has Nikon changed this?
