Computer control of Nikon D70

I am not familiar with the D70, but I think when you hook it up to the
computer, Windows sees it as a disk drive. Are you looking also to have the
computer tell the camera to take the pictures?

I would like to capture images on Nikon D70 and download under full
computer control. I am aware that Nikon has a remote control software,
but I want to control the camera under software control with no human
intervention.

Does anyone know if there is API that I can use in my own software?
Has anyone done this before?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

An API is available fromm Nikon but it is not available to the general
public, you have to fill out a request form, and must be a company. See
there web site.

Nikon Capture can do a remote control of the D70 including automatic
download after the picture has been taken.

Some other Nikon (coolpix) could be controlled by the Krinnicam software
http://krinnicam.cjb.net/
Also this program downloads automatically after taking the photo(s)
You might give that a try, it's cheap (free)
