I have to disagree. The USB port is under a separate rubber cover below the power and video ports. You have to set the camera to PTP mode for remote control to work. CCP 1.0 and up to version 2.11 could tether the D70.
You are correct. I use that port all the time but I did not know it was referred to as a USB Port until I looked it up in the manual. Thanks again.
