Understanding and Optimizing the Nikon D90 D-Movie Mode Image

You do, for a split second. Once LV has kicked in (1 second) AE-L (hold) re-engages on its own. So, switching from Viewfinder to LV doesn't turn AE-L (hold) off at all. The second that it takes to full engage is how you lock the camera, or it locks itself, before it can do anything insane with the ISO and shutter.

Try it out.
 
Does the Pseudo-ISO control work out? And, if so, what kind of solutions do you think would be viable for a full-blown shootin' situation?
 
I do prefer the Kholi method better.....it`s faster and you get to use the situation that you are in.
Time ..and to get the shoot,two important factors.Have you tried getting trough Lo and Hi and see the results?

I like it at 200 and 320,looks very nice and clean,but it`s like playing PS3,if ya`know what I mean:)

I wonder how will handle outside.....
 
What do you mean Lo and Hi? ISO? LoL, a little confused. I thought we established that actually adjusting the ISO manually didn't work? Am I missin' somethin'?

Also, I like it at 200 ~ 320 as well. There will be situations that call for clean and others that can benefit from ISO noise/gain/grain. Just gotta select (which isnt' an easy task) which one works best.
 
For a studio controlled situation...second method will work wonders...and gives you time to exercise
 
Yeah I'm confused on what method you're talking about? LOL. Probably because I need sleep. Zzzzzzzz

Alright, so what second method are you talking about and have you tried this:

This is just an extension of the original ISO/Shutter lock thing I outlined.

Are you, again, saying that you've found a way to dial in ISO at will? By going through menus, I mean/
 
but this is almost the same thing...only that you are doing it from the ring...

the problem with this though...you don't have the light intensity from the sun.It may act like 200 on 400 etc....but when outside, you`ll have light intensity changes all the time.
 
Also the trick to get Ae-L to show up locked on LV, is to set it up, and press LV while Ae-L shows on viewfinder.I believe is 2 seconds.

If info on viewfinder goes off, you`ll have to do it again.
 
I can do it without a tripod. The tripod is just to learn how to do it. Also, I know what you mean, I'm not sure if that'll effect using a 50 percent grey card to set a low shutter exposure. That's the suggestion I'm giving out right now.

Grey Card or printing out some greys to test out, mounting them to a board or something like that.

And, yes, lol. the AE-L (hold) thing about pressing it before you go into LV is outlined in the third post: http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showpost.php?p=1398587&postcount=3
I see what you're sayin' about the AE-L going off if you aren't ready to switch. Looks like it has a five second cut-off time.

Good info. Need to put that up

You`ll have to mention that stays "on" for a few seconds...otherwise they will still fix the ring:)
 
Ha! Found out how to stop it from turning off so fast:

Menu > Custom Settings (Pencil Icon) > C (Timers/Ae-Lock) > Auto Meter-off Delay > Select amount of time.

Up to 30 Minutes before it turns off if you want. Set my own to 1 minute. Updating the method.
