Thank you for your kind words. For fireworks I would suggest ISO3200 and the slowest shutter speed, 1/25 at 25fps. Use the aperture to correct the exposure. Over exposure will make all the fireworks look white instead of having nice colors.Both utility frequency and television frequency in Switserland are 50Hz so I would suggest 25fps. Good luck!

Hi thanks for the info, solid stuff. I am new to video, so it would be nice if you could recomend a "get you going" set up for the D800. Is ISA auto when shooting video, will f stop change while shooting, what is best 24 or 30 frames pm. as you may have guessed, I'm a bit green on this subject.
Kind regards, hugh |

| Hi Hugh, thank you for your suggestions. I'll start writing a "my first video with the D800" kind of article. ISO can only be controlled manually in M mode, not in A, S or P mode; see the manual on page 60. You can change it while shooting. Aperture can be controlled manually in A and M mode, also while shooting. Your question about 24 or 30 frames is covered in the article "Should I use 30fps or 24fps for recording movies with the D800/D800E?", please find the link in the index above. |

Enjoyed every line you wrote.
I've had my D800 for about two months now.
I record a Video of the Service each Sunday Morning.
Production has been going better than with any other camera so far, but nothing WOW yet.
I've used a D90, 5D2, D7000, D5100, and V1
Best so far has been 1080P at 30fps with the camera set for 1/60s.
Typically the Auto ISO fluctuates from 300 to 3200 as the Pastor and others move around.
My favorite lens remains the 28-300 but I have also tried the 35f/1.8 DX and 28-70 at F/2.8 |

Thanks for the great info Ron. I am just getting started with D800 video and video in general. There is surprisingly little on the web to get people going in all of this. As for editing, I have PS CS5 extended. Any idea if that is good enough for basic but limited adjustments like curves/levels etc for compressed HD? Or will I need to spring for something like Premiere pro?
Thanks |

| To RRRoger. I am having trouble with lighting while shooting video on the D800. When you manually adjust the ISO during the video, you can hear the command dial rotating, which is most certainly distracting. How do you utilize the auto ISO while shooting video? |

Thank you very much for your help so far. I am still struggling with D800 breaking focus for 10-12 seconds while making video of dancers on stage. Video is beautiful until dancers jump around. Then the 'hunting for focus" starts. Nikon USA said, "yeah it will do that."
Looking forward to your future "Tips and Tricks". |
