There’s a book called “From Still to Motion” which was written exactly for still photographers who want to venture into videography. I’m not in any way, shape or form connected to the authors or publisher. I just think it’s a good reference.

As an example, it tells you to set the shutter speed to 1/48s (or 1/50) if your DSLR shoots at 24 fps (mine’s a Nikon D90) to get a more “classic” film look. There’s also information about lighting, audio, grip, etc.

You guys are great pioneers in this medium and your videos have great teaching value. Thanks again.

Mode: LV on freehand
I don´t think that it´s possible to limit the ISO for shooting videos with ISO-auto. I tried to get “dark” videos with f22 and ISO-auto from 200 to 400.

Mode: LV on tripod
It´s possible to get “dark” videos with the same setup.

At the moment I´m not shure what my D300s is doing – what is possible to be set up for filming?

@Lee & Patrick:
Which mode do you use? Freehand or tripod?

Thanks for the advices!

I use a d90 and sometimes a d300 and will be getting a d300s soon. So, you guys hit it on a nail again. Cheers guys!

I have heard this a few places, but haven’t had a chance to fully test it myself.

We may need to find some resources on that camera but hopefully a new D700 is on the way and Nikon will allow more custom control over every aspect of the exposure. Fingers crossed!

That is the problem with Nikon. You cannot choose the SS or the ISO when you shoot video so we had to find a work around. Video on Canon gear is much more advanced and we are waiting for Nikon to catch up.

I don’t know anything about Nikons, but I always just shoot on full manual mode with my Canon. Can you not change the aperture on-the-fly when you are in video mode with Nikons? If not, then that’s a huge drawback and something Nikon will have to fix. I wouldn’t recommend aperture priority mode because then the camera will change your shutter speed. I like to control this myself with video. I’d recommend doing everything manually as long as you can change aperture, shutter, and ISO quickly and easily without having to leave video mode or even stop recording.

Set your ae lock button to ae lock (hold) in the menu and now you just have to tap the button to lock the exposure.
