People are getting great looking footage with the D90. If people could post their best footage with the picture settings and exposure settings used, it would be very informative.

I don't have a D90, but I'm wondering what the monochrome setting with added contrast and sepia setting would look like.

also the vivid setting with different exposure, contrast and saturation settings.
 
It'd be nice to have deep saturation and a nice mellow scale of light to dark. The posted clips, though helpful, have all been on the harder looking side contrast-wise. I'd also like to see how it handles a hi-con black and white situation, with a simulated 'red filter' to make blues darker, clouds pop, etc.
 
I think once manual control of the movie mode is established, if ever, then people will start focusing on creating beautiful imagery. Most owners I've talked to are more agitated than excited about the D-Movie control.

Exactly. This is what I've been doing since Friday. I haven't been concentrating on makin' pretty images, just getting the camera locked down and understanding how it works so that I can report back here.

I'm glad that it's already helped produce some of the best footage yet from the d90. SoiQa's footage was just awesome.
 
Thanks for letting us all stand on your shoulders re: the d-movie operations.

Camera's coming, can't wait to get in the game, start shooting with sync sound from another source. I was thinking, wireless lav on talent, receiver to an old, small GL1 I have, sitting in a bag on my side, D90 in hand, and then do some sort of rough slate. Work it all out later in the suite...
 
There is just so much opportunity with this camera if it were only a little more controllable. So sad to see something great thrown to the curb because of something stupid like this.
 
The people will overcome. By using the Kholi Effect, we will become the new power in the universe, even more powerful than the black hole at the center of the large hadron collider.
I'm just typing anything to waste time while kholi updates his thread..

Maybe under the guise of doing a 'documentary' we can interview all the engineers, sales dept, marketing, etc, at Nikon and somehow come out with a clear thesis of how something so obvious like manual control didn't happen...
 
replace function on Vimeo does not work(tried twice)....I`ll open a new account and host it there until Sunday 12.00.
 
Nice video Stoiga, looks like you have some pretty consistent images there. Could you describe briefly your process of setting up the D90 controls (ISO, aperture, etc) before shooting?

Very nice! I'm praying you just slapped it in aperture priority, picked an aperture setting, went to live view, set AE lock, and pushed the record button.

What did you do?


This is test footage of yours that needs to be posted in this thread as well which is most excellent:

Actually I used M(manual),locked aperture( AF lens) ,looked for medium light areas to get a proper Iso,locked and record.

I just had fun with it, and I was as stealth as a photographer can be....you direct camera at people and since you dont have the finger on the shutter, people think that you are fixing your picture or something....try this with JVC100+letus35+Tripod and an 85mm
