This shows the basic set up to film your video using the Nikon D7000 camera. It is very basic and straight forward with a recap at the end that goes through the whole thing very quickly.
Practice your movements. In big movie productions with manual shoots, a separate person can act as a focus puller. Just practice your move beforehand for your shoot and you'll get it.
Some of the stuff you say is not accurate, meaning can be confusing. This has to do with exposure or "lightness and darkness" ISO does not make an image lighter or darker. ISO is not an exposure control, it just indicates film speed. An image at 100 ISO can be light or dark depending on how the aperture and shutter are set, an image at 800 ISO can be light or dark (overexposed or underexposed) depending on how the exposure (aperture and shutter speed) are set.
Thank you very much for your video. I have a few problems with my D7000. My 'Fstop' does not change when I turn the wheel at the front of the camera - ?? My ISO does change when the 'iso button' is pressed but then once released goes back to it's previous state ie: I changed it to 400 as you did and it changed but when the ISO button was released it returned to 800 - ?? Is there any idea that you might have as to why these are happening or NOT happening? I'd really very much appreciate your input. Mark, Australia.
Great video. Successful first video ever with this camera! Question- on my D7000 the fStop does not change with the front wheel in LV mode as in video. Seems static/constant display a triangleF0 (zero). Any ideas? Lens currently mounted = DX AF-S Nikor 18-55mm 3.5-5.6G ED
A great camera without a doubt, however it seems so complicated just to record video. Both my Sony A5000 and my Panasonic G5 are so much easier just turn the camera on, set the white balance and press the record button and you're rolling. I came here to see how easy it is to operate because im considering buying a d7000 i found for less than $200. Is it worth buying? Or should i just use my other 2 cameras? I utilize multiple cameras in my shoots... Thoughts?????
The Nikon D7000 has both an external mic and a 3.5mm external mic jack, but the audio recording quality is not professional quality. After trying an external lapel mic, I am going to order a digital recorder (Tascam or Zoom) and sync the video and audio in post processing.
At the risk of stating the obvious…wouldn’t this tutorial benefit from actually shooting some video? A white board doesn’t provide a useful background.
Thank you for producing this nice How-To video for the Nikon D7000. I have been using this camera for ten years, but never in video shooting mode. Now that I have a need to produce some clips I was exploring the capabilities of the camera. Your information on the detailed menu settings was valuable. Much appreciated.
