First Video - Nikon D7000 + Kaleinar 100/2.8 MF

[Obzervr]

Hi Everyone, newbie here where video/short film is concerned. After weeks of hesitation, I finally got myself the Nikon D7000 at 10pm yesterday (28/11/2010). As soon as I got home, I tried this out. Nothing special, just sharing a moment of joy.

Please change option to watch in HD for clip with sound. Not sure why, but that seems to be the problem.

Will update in a bit with a caption.
Thanks for Watching.

This is a version with the caption. Something close to what I had in mind.

Hi,

Interesting, care to share the setting on your camera for this video? (eg. shutter speed, aperture, ISO)

Hi, thanks for watching. The title is Vampire's Lullaby. It is one of the Youtube's audioswap music.

Hi Paul, thanks. The aperture was at 2.8, dial set at manual. ISO was 800 if I recall. Not sure if it was compensated by the camera. I was just holding to the cam for about 2 hours and before reading the instruction manual when I shot this. I learnt that this camera is too smart and I've had moments when it overrides my own setting. Still a lot to learn to fully control it.

I see, thanks for sharing I'm still experimenting on the shutter speed for D7000 video, and wonder what setting could affect what. ;p

Actually, the shutter for me works by making the video less blur while panning or movement... However, I realised that there's some 'synchronization' between the video type (eg. 1080p 24fps vs 720p 30fps) and the shutter speed in a way I yet to understand. If the shutter too fast, there'll be weird pattern, but the movement would be 'crisp'. Too slow, and there'll be blur image.

I generally won't set my shutter below 50 (for 24fps) or 60 (for 30fps). However, I wonder if anyone got a 'crisp' video @ outdoors daytime and if so, what setting they use?
