Het nadeel van de IR remote is dat ie na instellen 15 minuten later weer uitvalt, en je kunt niet prefocussen danwel focussen op een ander punt dan je de foto schiet.
Het modden op zich van de D70 valt op zich wel mee, tis alleen een secuur werkje en je moet een stereo 2.5mm female jack inbouwen (lastig verkrijgbaar)
Draadjes kun je aftappen van de normale shutterknop.
Hier het hele verhaal (knip en plak uit een yahoo D70 hack groep)
There are a couple of ways to tap in to the camera, I chose to connect
directly at the
shutter release button.
The first piece that needs to be removed is the bottom plate, followed by
the front cover
that surrounds the lens mount. (there is a hidden screw under the
manual/Auto focus
switch).
Next would be the back piece, which also requires disconnecting the flexible
circuit strip
that connects it to the circuit board on the bottom of the camera, then the
left side panel.
You need to follow this sequence because the edges of these parts overlay
each other.
Next step is to remove the right side panel and carefully move the top cover
out of the
way. Note there is a screw that will also need to be removed from inside the
battery
compartment in order to release the top cover. Notice I said move the top
cover out of the
way. That's because there are several very thin wires that are connected
directly to other
parts of the camera and can easily be damaged.
Once the top cover has been moved out of the way you can use a meter to find
the three
necessary connections on the shutter release button. The shutter button
itself is a simple
affair with only four contacts, of which only three are used, which consist
of a common
ground, focus/metering, shutter release.
Route three thin wires from the shutter release button to the left side of
the camera so it
exits at the empty cavity between the power and video jacks. I routed mine
under the flash
housing and down the side next to the lens release button, then through open
cavities to
the final destination.
At this point it is simply a matter of connecting an appropriate jack to the
wires and
carefully insulating the assembly, then glue or epoxy it to the board that
contains the
power and video jacks. Then carefully line up and drill a hole on the left
cover plate.
The only real "gottcha" that kind of threw me off a bit is the flexible
circuit strip that
connects the bottom circuit board and back LCD plate. Be careful when
reconnecting
everything to make sure it is securely in place, otherwise the camera will
not even turn on.
