SB600 Modelling Illuminator and D70

[luanhoot]

How to enable this function in the D70 please ?
The SB 600 manual says must be set on camera side.

Thanks

[luanhoot]

but saw it on page 45 of the manual

The manual is here
Just go to page 45 when the pdf open.

When I check the hardcopy, it is there.
But don't know how to enable.

it says "compatible camera". i guess D70 is not compatible with the modeling light. i think D2h got can have this function

You'll need a camera like the D2H to operate this function.

When you have the SB-600 mounted on the D2H, pressing the DOF preview button activates the modeling light. Or if you have an SB-800 set as the master, selecting the group that the SB-600 is set to and pressing the modeling light function will also activate the SB-600's modeling light.

Even better ... if you have an SB-800 mounted on a D2H and have multiple SB-600s or 800s on wireless CLS, pressing the DOF preview button causes ALL the modeling lights to fire.

SB-600 + D70 = no modeling light

Oh i see, thanks.
But will this function will be avaliable if a SB800 is mounted on the D70?
Though of getting a SB800 if it is possible

Thanks

SB-800's modelling light can be activated by pressing the button situated behind the flash head.
