@@FoxTailWhipz For sure, for sure no way that you've discovered suddenly? lol. Ugh, I tried doing the audio cable with my Yeti microphone but it didn't register. While the Nikon's microphone isn't that bad, I wish external worked!
I just another camera without a mic jack and the guy plugged in a micro usb to microphone adapter. I'd suggest you get the adapter and try it out for yourself
hope you find this, but what was the setting you were shooting with on the top circle dial? did you just keep it on FUll AUTO? I ask because when i try ti adjust the ISO manually the exposure never changes, so i cant shoot in manual mode. thanks hope thats clear
thanks for posting this! I found it helpful but when I tried to match your settings it doesn't allow me to and says "this option is not available with current settings" , any advice? I can't change: White Balance, ISO Sensitivity settings, AF-area mode/Live view, Metering. Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer.
I've got the Nikon D3100 and the nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6G VR lens and it can't auto focus for shit. I have to hold the button just for it to TRY and focus. It just doesn't work with this lens.
Idk what it is but my camera won't focus on anything while I'm filming and all the video is blurry. Pictures are just fine but video won't work, any tips?
I started out on this cam back in 2011. It was the most affordable video DSLR. Updated to a D7000 in 2012 with money I won from a film contest (that I participated in with the D3100). I got a custom image profile for the D7000 to get raw(ish) footage. Things have come a looong way! Cool vid man!
Guys anybody know how to use external mic to nikon d3100... I tried with external mic named boya with 3.5mm jack.. Cant find any settings related with it.. any help
I just watched your videos cause I got this camera 8 years ago and figure I try using this as my station video Yt camera and it still doesn’t look as good as yours. I was trying to keep from buying a new camera and make this on work since I already have it but I’m getting frustrated with this. 😢😩
FoxTailWhipz thank you. I just order me two box lights to add to my ring light. I hope this will help me and hold me over until I can get a better camera. Thank you so much this video was very informative and helpful.
I've been reading a lot of the comments below and I just wish most would actually do a bit of research (google) and read before posting questions with easy to find answers. So I'm going to reply to as many as I can and hope it helps
Hi bro, I wanted to ask you, I have this D3100 machine and I have a wedding to film, is the camera optimal for it? What settings should I use? I have never used it to film, only to take photos, thanks.
Hey can you recommend an app that makes my phone a monitor for my d3100? qDSLRDashboard doesn't work because of PTP issue. Would love to get a reply. Thank you.
When your resetting everything do you set your camera in Auto? Because I cannot change the setting for video 🥺 it says “ this option is not available with current settings “ any help please 🥺 SHOOTING MENU - Set picture control - image size - White balance - ISO sensitivity settings - Active D lighting - Metering - build in class RETOUCH MENU - Edit movie RECENT SETTINGS - ISO SENSITIVITY SETTINGS - White balance - Set picture control
I have this camera but when I took picture there’s always a black line on top of the captured picture. I don’t have any idea what’s the problem with that. Is it the camera itself or just the lense? Hope anyone here can help me with this. Thank you! 🙏
great video! need to get a starter DSLR for my wife to start making some videos and I was hoping this camera would work for video well. this video was VERY informative. thank you!
When i start recording after 3-10 seconds the camera says that "recording interupted please wait".please can someone help me? It us very urgent. I am planning to start a makeup youtube channel and my camera is the only source through which i can shoot.
omg thank you for doing this tutorial. i've had this camera laying around for nearly ten years and haven't made anything significant with it. can't wait to make more on my channel with this new knowledge!! anyone else making videos during quarantine?
I bought mine from a pawn shop. I live in San Antonio, Cash America Pawn has numerous locations. If there's a chain of pawn shops near you I scout them, sometimes they even put items on Offer Up. My camera came with the 35mm lens w/hood, lens cap, camera bag, strap, battery and portable charger, plus a uv filter. I paid $140. A few days later I found a 18-55mm zoom lens w/cap and bag for $50.
It can only record for 10 minutes at a time sadly.. I'm not sure of the reason why, since most other cameras can record for 30 minutes at a time, possibly a power or overheating issue.
@@FoxTailWhipz - 'If a photographic (Digital) camera is capable of recording video for a longer period, these items will be identified by the customs (of many countries) as "Video Recorders" where a higher tax rates may apply. To prevent this, all camera manufacturers limit their productions to 1 hour (approx.) for lower resolutions and 10 minutes for HD video. May be the 9.59 minutes limit for HD to prevent "10 min or higher" HD recording term by customs...' source- video stackexchange. I think this is the primary reason.
Yes, however you will have to change the firmware at your own risk. Updating the firmware with patches can remove the 10 min barrier which is just a manufacturer design to avoid taxes as mentioned by others.
