Remote plus burst mode?
Yesterday, I was lucky enough to use my camera for the first time, in the new year. I came upon a location where I wanted to take shots of blurred vehicles, passing by a static stop sign. Like this one:
With a slow enough shutter speed to get the amount of blur, that I wanted, I needed to use a tripod, to get decent sharpness on the sign. Also, since the traffic was passing at a high rate of speed, timing the shot was difficult. This necessitated the use of burst mode.
With the camera on a tripod I wanted to use a combination of remote triggering and burst mode. However, I could not figure out a way to set the camera to do burst mode and remote trigger, at the same time. Using the self-tiimer amd burst mode was not an option, because of the need for precise timing of the shot.
Does anyone know if there is a way to set the D70 to use remote shutter release and burst mode, at the same time?

Should work....
Hey Cliff,
My camera is out in the car, so I can't verify this, but I think if you select continuous shooting and remote operation and hold the button down it will keep firing. NOT as a true burst though. The remote pulses the signal and the camera trips as often as it gets the signal. So it's more like rapidily pressing the shutter button rather than holding it down. (FYI: I have one of the TV remotes, not a true Nikon remote. YMMV.)
This is just another reason I wish the D70 had a proper cable release.
3 FPS
IMVHO, Since the D70 only fires at 3 FPS, and the fast moving vehicles are probably traveling 30-50 feet per second, you "burst" mode is gonna be just as hit-and-miss as anything else. I think you'd have better luck timing it yourself. Draw an imaginary line between yourself and a distant object. When the car passes that line, fire the remote.
Adjust the imaginary line until you have the desired effect.
Of course, faster or slower moving cars will need to be adjusted on the fly.
After a while, you should get a good feel for it

This is what I was trying to do. However, since both the continuous and remote control are set as a shooting mode, it seems that the camera lets you only choose one or the other, but, not both at the same time. It appears that the shooting mode lets the user select one only from the choice of single frame, continuous, self-timer, delayed remore or quick-response remote.

Re: 3 FPS
Dad-of-four:
Thanks for the suggestion. Actually, I tried it both with burst mode and with the way that you suggested. I found that using burst mode did save some shots, where I had mistimed my shutter release. The shot in my original post was one that was taken with burst mode and hand firing the shutter.
