D-lighting seems to be way more processor intensive than the regular image settings. You can see this in the continuous motor drive speeds for the various late model dSLRs sporting active D-lighting as well as the depth of the buffers.

Now, that's a thought. LOL. I can't imagine that it would have better 480p than 720p downscaled? But.. you know... I also couldn't imagine not bein' able to control shutter...

That clip actually looks pretty good to me !
u can see the noise on the back walls as u walk around.... is it because the this shutrer/ iso priority that the camera controls? or because of the low datarate?

little noisy in some parts...i'm not sure if i skipped it, are there still problems trying to change the iso?
I just don't think you can change the ISO at all, to be honest. It's gotta be auto for capturin' Video. Actually adjusting it does nothing to the image.
I even tried to turn it on Auto and limit it to 400. Nothin' doin'.

what about Joe? anyone seen him lately?

laugh, nm, i guess in his previous post he was just as stumped.

just talked to nikon guy....he said...that if you go to still mode and set the iso and then go to live mode you "should" be able to tell the difference from 200-1600. but there isn't any control once you're in live mode.
also spoke to him about where we can provide feedback, he didn't have a real good answer there except i can pass it along kind of jibberish.
are you guys doing a lot of your adjustments in live mode or still? then going to live afterward?

That's the thing that's weird. You can dial in the aperture and change the shutter speed with the easy exposure adjust, but the problem is, the gain stays the same, which makes sense since it is called "Exposure adjustment."
Newp. No worky for me.

kholi you should call those cats. and walk through with them on how this **** needs to change
Whoa whoa whoa... wait a minute. There are CATS running Nikon?!?! Now it all makes so much sense!
Meeeeeoooowwwwwwwwwww!
What about the regular exposure comp? Supposedly it honors that setting. Now, what does it change? Shutter or gain?
It's either Shutter or Shutter and Gain, both. Or ISO, whichever way you want to refer to it.
Bottom line is that it's not manual enough for most of our crowd. =(
im curious to as well what the bit rates for the other modes are. anyone wanna check and see if compression is any better at the smaller resolutions.
while i hope there could be a firmware fix for a better bitrate/mjpeg compression i feel like there is a limit due to the d90s internal hardware so the question is what is that limit and is this camera processing and compressing at that limit or is there room for improvement?
as for the better manual control in movie mode, this should be possible by a firmware upgrade/change. i cant think of any reason that this could not be changed in the firmware.
finally has anyone been able to or will be able to check the hdmi out in movie mode to see whats going on there?

We just need shutter and iso control and the D90 is good.
Ok, back to the easy exposure adjustment then...so normally it runs, what, 1/125th? So if you wanted something faster, you could just put a 1, 2 or whatever stop ND filter on it, and fake the gain into increasing, then set the easy comp at -1, -2, or whatever to get your desired faster shutter speed and the gain would then be correct. And you could lock it and shoot. But to get slower than 1/125th, I'm not sure what you could do. Of course, ISO200 is hardly low enough sensitivity to run slow shutter speeds in daylight anyway.
