  • Is it true that the D5000 has no mic. input and that you only have 5 minutes to film and that you have to hold the button the whole time you are filming?

    PLEASE ANSWER!!

  • @kex192

    Yes it is true.. no mic. input.. , limit is 5min and there is no permanent exposure lock. Get the Canon T2i if you're planning on shooting some good video.

  • @scssam you dont have to hold down the button.. go into the settings. Plenty of videos on youtube about it.

  • @ImMartinG

    Yep.. found it on my d300s... but I'm sure it's in the d5000 as well thanks.

  • nice lens. i also own d5000. to turn off auto exposure you have to enable the AE lock button. makes the video look much better without the iris opening and closing when you move the camera!

  • @garrethenry will do that next time for sure.

  • @scssam You are wrong, there is a permanent exposure lock.

  • Whats your recipe for your d5000 & lens...Im struggling with a D90 & Sigma 8-16

  • You can stop the auto exposure by clicking the exposure lock button before you start shooting. Also, if you set exposure compensation beforehand you can control the exposure to a degree. Just some tips I thought of. Nice video!

  • No you do not have to hold the button down while shooting.

    Yes no Mic input.

    Yes only 5 Min shoot time.

    You can lock the exposure very easily. There is a dedicated button on the camera.

    Love the camera... love it.

  • What are the weights and settings you have with your d5000 on the merlin. I can't seem to stabilize mine

  • @scssam If you search d5000 tips, they show you how to lock the exposer/aperture .

  • @scssam there is a permanent exposure lock.
