I'm not quite clear on the aperture in video. I am aware that you cannot change A during shooting, but you can if it's an AF-d lens, using the ring on the lens, does this work? (obviously G lenses wouldn't as they don't have this.) Please confirm.

@arubaforever Aperture adjustment during Movie Mode/Live View requires an old Manual AI lense like the 50mm f1.8 E series Nikkor at the start of the video. This was used to make the video. Refer to my other replies for details

Manual AI lenses . . . OK. Got it. Thanx a million

[thinkingmediatv]

@obi5312 You will see in the video no data is shown about the non-CPU lens.

This will create an instant demand for second hand MF AI lens :(

This video puts me straight to sleep after a minute into it! C'mon WAKE UP!!

1:47 How do we know what buttons you're pushing?

[arubaforever]

@thinkingmediatv So you cannot do it with an AF-D? I guess not since as soon as you rotate the blades you get an error if you use the old aperture controls don't you?

Increeeedibly sad vid ! Cheer up man !

[robb1138]

I actually gave this a negative revue because you fail to mention curtain steps to achieve focus tracking a particular subject (as an example)...you don't mention that you have to press the "OK" button to LOCK on a subject when you move the camera around (as in the satellite dish example)..and you don't mention HOW you get to the display options....I mean for a video that is 18 minutes long you'd think there was a COMPLETE , step by step instruction to the features you outline...

@gadsiegadsie Higher Aperture Value = Smaller iris opening (physically) = More depth of field

Lower Aperture Value = Larger Iris opening = Shallower Depth of field.

And the focal length (mm) plays a great role too. More mm (Tele) = Shallower DoF, less mm (Wide angle) = less

Basically you combine both factors (Focal length and Aperture) to get the Depth of Field the way you want. :-)
