That would be insane if that were the case...I doubt it though.
Understanding and Optimizing the Nikon D90 D-Movie Mode Image
- Thread starter Kholi
- Start date
Yup, tried it. First thing that I did was attempt to hold AE-L and LV mode, nothing. It's a temporary gap in the camera's functions that reset it, sadly. So all the work you did on controlling exposure is lost.
However... after playin' around last night with a wall and a light, I think I really do get how to make this thing behave properly on a consistent basis. More to come.

Looking forward to it Kholi.

kholi,
in the raw train footage, your D90 was locked down right and you got the rolling shuttle warble due to the train's vibration, right?

Sorry, wasn't my footage but that's probably right.
I need to post that the footage doesn't belong to me. =P Silly me.

Awesome job and many thanks Kholi...:beer:
Limited recording time aside, do ya think we'll see any short films, or, gasp, even micro-budget narrative features, from this little beast? :shocked:

Kholi, so far your primer is well done. Nice and clear. I'm grateful for your hard work (& Zak's, & Drew's, & John Caballero's …) sussing this thing.
Without a doubt, man. Another man's "limitations" is the next guy's challenge. That's all it is.
Please, do not look at the limited recording time as a set back either. Unless it's documentary or talkin' heads, then you have a problem. Otherwise the 5 minute time (with added cooling on the camera) is fine.
I've said it before, but I'll say it again. Thanks for all the hard work you've done on this Kholi. I'm just going to wait and see what Canon releases as the new 5D before I decide, but I think the D90 will suit me for web based music videos.

What about this LyteCap doodad someone posted in the looong thread?

Does anybody (who's becoming conversant with the D90's quirks) think this may be a convenient tool to fool the cam's brain into behaving?
… Kholi?

That looks like it might work. The problem is that it would have to be able to fit to many different lenses or you defeat, once more, the interchangeable feature of the camera.
Does anyone know if it does? Perhaps now is the time to pitch something more universal, like a light hood.
My own thought was something easier, but I need to test it out before I can say that it works.

well "trusted" sources say 5D will have video, the type not confirmed yet, price ~2600 euro, will be announced officially on 17th
What are the odds do you think it might at least have a audio "in" jack for $2,000+ dollars and fully manual controls since we're specualting?
They're really going to have to offer more than the D90 at that price point, but I fear Canon will cripple it to keep their camcorder line sales safe. Nikon has nothing to lose by going full steam ahead and making the best camera possible in the future once they see the demand for the D90 in certain circles.
Maybe I missed something Kholi, but if I put my D90 in manual mode, and then turn the aperture ring of my 50mm 1.8 lens (and get the EE error), it won't let me engage live view mode.
Do I need a non-cpu lens? Your write-up made it sound like this lens would work:

i have no idea about controls but the audio jack i'd say 99.9% it won't happen

is it just me, but find it silly so many people want audio in their camera's? you do that, you raise the price. sync sound, cut the price in half.
