Nikon D90 Video 1

Straight out of the box, shooting video with the D90 produced widely fluctuating light levels. The fix, which involves a custom setting of the exposure lock control, takes some digging.

well, let's not forget it's a PHOTO camera, NOT a video camera.

I don't care if this camera takes good video photo function is the important

[maybabytumbler]

did you use a lense?

[minelekke]

just hold, AE-L pressed, exposures won't be popping anymore, easy

[peterpetersnbg]

depends what lens and how your using it .. check out some of the other vids on you tube with a nikon d 90 you can see quite obviousoly some vids are much better than others and the good vids look pretty damn good after being through the you tube mincing machine

too compressed to actually see what the Nikons video is like. watch some other HD vids on youtube to see what its really like

I will agree that it is a *photo* camera foremost, but I also think Nikon should have made it easier to set the "af/ae hold" lock.

Not hard to do but unless you do some digging it won't be apparent right away.

There's no oversight on anybody's part. The D90 can lock the exposure while in video mode.

I know. I own one.

They do. :)

I think it is an oversight on Nikon's part.  They should have a exposure lock preset when in video mode.
