You have a very Clear Speaking Voice, I'm hearing impaired but don't have any problem hearing every word spoke

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

+Tom Truman Hi there! Thank you, I'm glad to know that you found this video helpful! :)

[@tash_views]

It does have continuous focus. You have to activate af-f on live view mate.

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Hi there! I'm afraid this Nikon does way too much "hunting" when focusing in video, Nikon's response is to use manual focus for more professional results in your video production.

[@tash_views]

But it is not that it doesn't have continuous autofocus at all in live view right? The focus system is,as you said,not very efficient true. But saying it doesn't have continuous auto is not right,is it mate?

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

You make a valid point Tashreef, we thank you for your comment and will make the necessary changes to our clip. Take care!

[@tash_views]

Thank you too sir. Looking forward to the d3400 review :).

[@sabbuchinni]

is the d3300 heats up and hangs while taking pics

[@sherridrake1318]

you sir are the best teacher/instructor on this Nikon..so easy to understand, and you are not talking 90 to a hundred words a minute. I like your way of explaining things. I am going to be looking for more of your tutorials….I hope there are some. I was looking for something for my sister who has the D3300 I have all Nikons.... the D40X /D90/D7100/and my newest a Nikon P900 Coolpix.

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Thank you for the kind words!

You are perfect teacher for this d3300 dslr..the way you explained was short and to the point very interesting.some of the others teaching in KZbin got bored because they talked too much unnecessarily not much to the point...like you video and gonna hit the like buttons...

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Thank you Jason, great to hear that, we will continue the same way!!!

[@jswickstudios1696]

D3300 absolutely positively has a very nice autofocus feature while shooting video. You can also shoot a photo while recording video, however that will stop the video from recording.

[@biba8567]

this is the greatest tutorial video I ever watch ...thanks a lot sir

Does the camera allow for video sound recording without an external mic?

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Hi, yes it does have an internal microphone so you can record without an external one.

[@StevenTorrey]

[@MarioxJolienSpiderFreak]

Image stabilization; I have the AF-P dx 18mm - 55mm and this lens doesnt have VR button nor A and M switch... by that i have to chage it inside camera settings :) so yes this one supports it ^_^ if the lens supports it too

[@PhillipMaii]

does your lense say vr? if it does then it supports it but you have vr1 just like me and it doesn't have the buttons like vr2 lense

[@MarioxJolienSpiderFreak]

Phillip Maiden no and indeed it says VR but i noticed it is inside the camera menu where u can turn it on/off

[@MatthewOrres]

The older lenses are AF-S, and have the switches on the lens. Yours is most likely the newer AF-P, still has VR and you can move to manual mode, but the settings are in the settings menu of the camera instead. Otherwise identical!

[@MarioxJolienSpiderFreak]

I love taking photos on my Samsung Note5 and enjoy editing them on my PC or Phone. But I really want to take it to the next level and buy a DSLR camera. Entry level first of course. After watching your videos on this camera I think this is the perfect camera to start with. Thanks, love your videos.

Thank you so much for this tutorial. Do I need to buy an extra lens for product photography? If I do, please, suggest.

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

[@jesusizquierdo3831]

Maybe a silly question but, is there a way to see something like at 4:08 live using a modern lense? I mean, I change aperture but have no way of knowing what the actual picture will look like before taking it using the viewfinder.

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

+Jesus Izquierdo Hi Jesus, this feature is not available with the standard lenses unfortunately, only with older D series lenses with a manual aperture ring.

[@dthtr1]

Thank you for the useful informations about the D3300. I own a Sony A58 and a Nikon D3300 . The Nikon is lighter and its battery keeps the power much longer but it is a poor performer in low light conditions compared to the Sony. .

Hi Jeff, if you are recording the sound externally, use a post production software like Final Cut or iMovie.

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Hi Flor, glad to hear that!

[@markfinnerty66]

Good point about the lenses. Apart from the 18-55mm, what other lens would you recommend I get, on a limited budget, so needs to be on the lower end price wise I'm afraid. Mark

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

+Mark Finnerty Hi Mark, I recommend a Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G Lens.

[@thetoothfixer8509]

+Digital Goja whats the different of 50mm vs 35mm 1.8? Im a rookie so i dont know much.. its my first DSLR ever. Sorry! Also, as you see on my most recent videos. Ive used the nikon d3300. But the quality seems a bit grainy. Do you think that is due to the lighting? or some setting? Because other video tests on youtube with the d3300 are crystal clear. thanks for the help!!

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

+AffordableTech Hi! On a crop sensor like the D3300, the 35MM is closer to the 50MM perspective and the 50MM works like a 75MM portrait lens, make sure you work with lots of light and lower ISO on video mode.

[@truckingpix]

The WU -1a wifi adapter doesn't plug into the "remote plug in", aka Accessory Terminal, it plugs into the USB A/V connector... I own one, and you can also see this on page 94 of the user manual. WR-1 and WR-R10 do connect to Accessory Terminal....

[@Anothergamer]

I have an advice for you. CLean up your sound by the ambiental noise. Use audacity, it's free and with the noise removal tool you will get a much clearer and better sound. By the way I like this video and your channel

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Thank you very much for your suggestion! :)

[@Andrewz17]

For the question about if the nikon will do continuous focus on video shooting. I noticed you had camera in AF-S mode before starting the video, but if you put it in AF-F, wouldn't that be continuous focus if you move the camera?

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

+Andrew hi there! I'm afraid this Nikon does way too much "hunting" when focusing in video, Nikon's response is to use manual focus for more professional results in your video production.

[@gh0styyyy444]

Could you do a video on photography terminology? I don't really understand most of it, I get a general idea but not enough comprehension of things such as why you'd need longer shutter speed or frame rate and what raw files exactly are. Thanks

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Thanks for the suggestion! We will consider it for an upcoming video!

[@FabyArtz]

Hello. Don't know if you guys will answer or if it's just a fault of my bad photography skills, but I shot some portraits of a friend today in daylight with Aperture Priority and the lowest aperture to get the shallow depth of field ( I have a Nikon D3300 with a Sigma 18-250mm lens ) and the photos looked insanely good from a distance, but I just needed to zoom in a bit and they were grainy and had chromatic abberation in the background. Is my lens damaged as I dropped it 1 year ago or am I just bad at photos?

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Chromatic aberration is a common problem in lenses, it may not be from dropping the lens (although I would probably have the lens checked out for other issues. Typically more expensive zoom lenses have more advanced optical designs and improved coatings to reduce or eliminate the effect. Since you are using an all-in-one type lens CA (chromatic aberration) may be more apparent at certain focal lengths, and even apertures are chosen. I would recommend you to set your camera to Raw instead of shooting in JPG and CA or color fringing could be corrected in a RAW editor like Adobe Lightroom. If your images look "Grainy" make sure to keep an eye on your ISO. When you extend the lens out it reduces the maximum aperture limiting it's light gathering capabilities. Even in bright light, the camera might have to choose a higher ISO, and that is where you will start noticing more noise or grain in the image. One other thing, if you underexpose the image and have to lighten it up afterward you will start to see noise in the shadow regions. We hope that helps.

[@FabyArtz]

[@Stedmen]

Actually this camera does indeed have continuous focus while shooting video. I use it all the time, you have to go to P setting on dial. Go to video recorder display video on screen, press the I button and select AF-F..

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Hi there! When done this way, It has a huge amount of "hunting" involved. Keep in mind that when recording on P mode, your videos won't be in the best quality available and you will have to edit/fix them post production.

Hi. I have a problem with my camera's AF-S and AF-F. When I set it into Live View, the shutter won't release. However, when I switch it to MF, the camera works.

My cam is Nikon D3300. Thanks & GOD bless!

[@wannabealauch]

I Dont know if this is an older version of the software or something, but my d3300 deefenetly has an continous autofokus, i use it very often acually

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

+wannabealauch Hi there! It has CAF for stills but not for video, if you notice on video you have to press the shutter every time to refocus from one focal plane to another, even on the new D5500 which I'm reviewing now it still doesn't have CAF for video.

[@wannabealauch]

No i'm sure there is

[@cgcowboy]

+wannabealauch is correct. There is an autofocus mode as well as an auto face finding focus. I use this with a Sigma 18-35 Art lens but the problem is the focus motor is quite loud when it is continuously changing focus. If you are adding your own audio later (eg music video) then it's fine. Otherwise stick to manual focus if you can manage thru the size of the viewfinder.

Great information. Question: I bought this camera 4 months ago and love it. Yesterday, however, I tried to make a video and the camera only records 3:00 mins now, and counts down to 0. It used to go longer. I didn't make any setting changes (the memory card is completely empty). Any suggestions? Thanks again!

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

+FariStudios Art Try doing a full reset to the camera, and also try formatting your memory card.

[@rasjahsunyogi]

FIXED!!!!! Thank so much!!!

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

+FariStudios Art Sweet! Glad we could help! :)

what should i get for my nikon d3300 . a 50mm 1.8 g prime lense or a nikon 55-200 mm lense ????

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

+Rakib Khan Hi! It depends on the type of photography and lighting you will mostly use. Please let us know this so we can help you.

i have the latest firmware installed. on the menu the auto info screen is set to off, but the lcd screen lighs up when the exposure compensation button is pressed, either on P, S, A mode to increase decrease exposure or on M mode to set diaphram. is it just my d3300 or a general issue...

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Hi there! Go and do a menu reset, this should allow you to access thru the info button, if not then it's your camera that's not working properly.

[@acaftermath]

Have this model and recently bought tamron lens with it. beautiful quality pics!

[@ellieread3537]

I'm quite interested in buying this camera. Many people tell me to get the Nikdon D5300 instead but that isn't in my price range. I'm a make-up artist and I basically just need portrait shots of other people which I can achieve well with a 50mm lense, along with photos of myself. I would occassionally do video of events which looks good with this camera, and may start KZbin tutorials if I get into that. One question to do with video - say if I'm shooting alone and I'd want to focus on myself, would I need a remote in order to focus on myself or how would I do that? Do you think this camera is suitable for what I need it for?

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

+Ellie R Hi there! Yes you can, just switch to AF-F mode, wait for it to find its focus point, and then press the Movie-Record button to start recording. Focus is adjusted as needed if move through the frame or you pan the camera.

[@ellieread3537]

+Digital Goja I wouldn't beagle to wait until it focuses on me though as I wouldn't be at the camera and I mean to take photos not record. Like how would I take an image of myself away but infront of the camera with it focused on me but no one controlling the focus? That's why I asked if I would need a remote. :-)

[@ellieread3537]

+Ellie R I apologise for saying video in my first comment - I meant taking photos but the same thing would occur for both I guess. I just don't know how to focus it on me when I'm not at the camera.

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

+Ellie R Gotcha, after you press the shutter-release button when using a remote control, the AF-assist lamp blinks for about 2 seconds, and then the camera takes the picture. So yes, the camera can focus will auto focus and you can release the shutter with a remote.

[@ellieread3537]

+Digital Goja Oh okay thankyou! So do you just hold the shutter button on the remote half way like you would a normal camera button and then it focuses? Sorry I'm new to all of this!

[@solomakos]

I want to ask a question! I am gonna buy my first DSLR soon! What is your opinion about this camera? Should I buy it?

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Hi Alex! This is definitely a great camera for beginners.

[@solomakos]

+Digital Goja thank you👍

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

My pleasure! :)

[@aphotographerwannabe226]

How many "normal" jpeg photos can you take with a 16 GB memory card?

[@cjremoreras6045]

Hi :) hope you can help me. I'm a first time user of a dslr cam and i do own this type of nikon dslr cam. Where can i find the aperture, shutter speed, and ISO on my existing photos? (P.S i used the manual option when I captured the photos) thank you.

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

That is under properties in the files or go into the display settings in the camera and activate all the info so you can see it right on the camera LCD.

How to set my Nikon Camera D3300 to video setting.

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Hi, please see these instructions: visihow.com/Record_Video_Using_the_Nikon_D3300

[@fatalzrecordz3068]

Can I use an external flash with my Nikon D3300? what if i have a pc sync cable?

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

+Fatalz Recordz Hi there! Yes, you can use an external flash with the Nikon D3300.

[@piyushjaino5]

Very useful video thanks

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

You're welcome, Piyush Jain. Glad to help.

[@j2s718]

sir woud you help me with providing a nikon lense....plz

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Unfortunately, we do not have any Nikon products.

[@akaombikramrana]

Hi , i want to buy nikon 50mm f1.8g and i own d3300. One thing I want to be clear is, the object should be in fixed 50mm to be sharp focus or the object can be in 40mm to be sharp focus ? Sorry,My English is not good. I hope you understand.

[@akaombikramrana]

Please reply. Thank you

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Hi, 50mm is fixed at 50mm you can't shoot at any other mm with it.

[@iVoofficial]

I have a question: is the camera's audio good? As in, is an external mic necessary for good audio results in videos?

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Hi there! It features an standard mic port, good for daily/casual videos. I would recommend to use an external microphone for optimal audio capture for more elaborate videos like vlogging videos.

[@iVoofficial]

Digital Goja thank you :)

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

My pleasure! :)

[@markfinnerty66]

Hi, great video I learned a lot. I want to get into DSLR, because I think my Pentax P30 bought in 1986 is now maybe too old!!! I know next to nothing about digital photography so I regard myself as a beginner. Is the Nikon D3300 the best entry level one, despite it being 2 years old I believe? Thanks Mark, Coventry, England

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

+Mark Finnerty Hi Mark, absolutely the Nikon D3300 will do the Job, remember the body is never as important as your lenses.

[@octanefx3228]

Is it a problem if i left my cam battery charging overnight .ithink the battery is slightly intended on oneside.

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Hello Guru Vishnu. It's recommended to remove the battery after it has completed charging. Most original chargers will stop charging the battery once complete. If the battery has changed shape in any way please properly discard the battery.

[@haiderch5917]

hi ,can you please tell me that which mic should I ues with nikon d3300???

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

I would recommend the Rode VideoMicro. It's compact, all-metal, powered by the camera, and includes a Rycote Lyre shock mount and furry windshield.

[@vlogwithrubal1988]

Very useful video. Thanks so much

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Great to hear that!

[@vlogwithrubal1988]

Sir, can you please tell that how we can make background blurr while recording a video?

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Hi, it depends on the lens, it works best with prime lenses but you can experiment with the kit lens too, try lowering the aperture.

[@esmayalamshojon2697]

Which one better cannon 700d or nikon d3300 ?

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

We prefer the Canon, it has a better focusing system.

[@chavan.vaibhav]

can we capture timelapse in nikon d3300? does it has inbuilt intervolameter? if not than any other way to make timelapse? Thanks!😊

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Hi there! Yes you can, here's a detailed video from Nikon where you can see the entire process :) www.nikonusa.com/en/learn-and-explore/article/i63er6hq/top-tips-for-capturing-time-lapse-with-a-dslr.html

[@vikasaggarwal3474]

How to click BWF images from this camera??

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

It should have an option to choose that mode.

[@mazinbashar4140]

hey! how if live view focusing and clicking on this camera? Also, should I get the Nikon d3300 or the Canon 700d, mostly for stills? :o

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Hi Mazin! The Nikon D3300 takes higher resolution photos MP (24.2 vs 18.0) however, the Canon 700D has more cross-type AF points. You have to weigh out the features you are looking for to make a choice. ;)

[@mazinbashar4140]

Digital Goja I'd been leaning towards the d3300 all this time, but the live view focusing, according to many people out there, seems to be very bad on the d3300. Is it so? Should I get the 700d over the Nikon d3300 only for this reason?

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

+Mazin Bashar on my opinion, Canon cameras have a better live view focusing, at least until the D7100.

[@mazinbashar4140]

Digital Goja oh. That's pretty disappointing. I was thinking of getting the d3300 it just seemed like the perfect choice, untill now. Is the live view on the d3300 something like 'unusable'?

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

+Mazin Bashar no, the D3300 it's a great option for starters and the live view function is good. What I tried to say before is that Canon T5i has a better live view focusing than the D3300.

[@slamdunk118]

how to focus in the low light situation with lens zoom in ?

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Hi Justin, we would suggest setting the ISO between 1600 and 3200 and when shooting hand-held, use Shutter Priority and turn the rear Control dial to set the shutter speed at 1/30 of a second or faster. (It's best to use 1/60 of a second or faster.) If you set it slower, the VR (Vibration Reduction system, where part of the lens moves to counteract shaking) won't be able to compensate.
