I have a Nikon D70 and lost my user's manual. How do I do a mass delete of photos on the camera?

If you want to clear the card it is better to format it rather than simply deleting the files (which actually doesn't delete them, just allows them to be overwritten). Pretty sure the D70 has the same two-button format as the D80/90 and D300/700 - hold down the two buttons simultaneously until "FOR" appears in the top screen, then release them momentarily and press them again. The full image capacity of your card will mysteriously appear in the available shots count.

gwappo pretty much nailed it, format the SD Card. Or you can plug into your computer and mass delete there.

You should be able to get a replacement manual from Nikon online (pdf) or an alternative user manual from kenrockwell.com
