Does anyone know of any hacks to be able to set the exposure and not have it adjust mid shot? I sick of having to hold down the AE-Lock button.



In the menu settings of exposure, you can change it so that the lock is a toggle so when you press the button it stays locked until you press it again to unlock it.



could anyone explain me how the shutter speed works for video mode? i still get some kind of blur or ghost image when i export my videos

I'm new to DSLR video, and I'm using a D5100, but from what I understand you want your shutter speed to be double your frame rate. So for 24p you want 1/50 shutter speed, and for 30p you want 1/60. If you want to make your videos slow motion in editing you should use a much faster shutter speed, but for normal speed the rule of thumb seems to be double the frame rate. Hope this kinda makes sense!



well it did when i read about it, i set my shutter speed to 1/50 at 24p but i got that blur thing i was talking about look here's the example , i think is the way i render the video but not sure

Great video, but I see the blurring you're talking about. Like I said above, I'm new to DSLR video so I'm afraid I'm not much of a resource for troubleshooting! I guess just try different settings in your camera (1080, 720, shutter speeds, etc.) and see if that helps. Also like you said the way you render it might make it blur so try some other settings in your editing software. Sorry I can't be more helpful!
