Filming With a Nikon DSLR

[@thebigsee1547]

Explained more in 10minutes than most other youtubers do in 10 videos.Thanks man,keep it up!

[@FilmLab]

+thebigsee Thank you so much!

[@amitdirector6122]

@@FilmLab now on 8:37 its showing 01h 19m 55s that means we can record video for 1hour 19minutes . But on 9:05 its showing 20m . That means we can record video only for 20 minutes. Can u please explain whats happening.

[@Som09mer]

@@amitdirector6122 at least with these settings (I'm not sure with other cameras/settings) you can only film for 20 minutes at a time. The 1h 20min means that there is room on the SD-Card for about that much time.

[@RAFIQMOHAMMAD]

The best, precise tutorial and easy to understand the video shooting / set up on Nikon D7100.

[@spajjordan]

I watched about 25 videos before this one and i learned a lot from them but the settings on Nikon's are so different I wish I had found this video first as it was easily the most helpful thanks

[@waspart4481]

thank you!!! figuring out fstop in live view was so frusterating. and you showed how to do it perfectly thanks so much

[@jakartadesire]

Good video, simply straight to the point

[@FilmLab]

Thx!

[@SourGrey]

exactly. thank you

[@supernova031404]

I always said that Elves are Great at everything . Watching this guy is like seeing Legolas (my favorite character from LotR) talking about my passion . So NIceeeee !!

[@manoi54]

i've watched a lot of video filming tutorial n i must say ur presentation is soo simple,but direct to the point that really worked wd my nikon d7200.i owned 3 other nikon camera n am into video filming now wd my new d7200.more power to u,sir.thank u.

[@FilmLab]

+juno alonzo so glad I could help!

[@mgm5781]

I just purchased the D7500 and this saved me a huge amount of time. I'll be shooting video 99% with this camera. I will most likely stay away from auto white balance. Thx again!

[@georgescholey8978]

This was really helpful. Had my D7100 a long time now and this is first video I have seen which sets things out clearly.

[@Fallenmichael81]

Dude... Youre a life saver. I do this professionally. and the job that hired me expected me to know everything about the Nikon. You literally saved my butt.

[@FilmLab]

+MagicianFlip69 Your welcome!

[@Wtm_ty]

Are you still there

[@romansten9]

FINALLY someone talking about trying a Nikon for filming. Just about everyone uses Canon, as well.as Panasonic and Sony for filming.

[@stevelumber8120]

Had a D7100 for years, wish I'd found this tutorial sooner. Thanks man

[@justinesalvacion6324]

I want to add also that it is more easier to press "ok" button for zooming in to focus. Great video! Very simple and easy to understand.

[@Bwanar1]

Nice video. A couple of points though. If you want to do your own color grading after the fact, you should be shooting in Flat not Neutral. That will give you the most latitude. Neutral has too much Sharpening added, to look natural (the film look your going for). You would have to go in and create a custom setting for this, but it only takes a couple minutes and you only have to do it once. It is also much easier and better for most, to set up their color style in camera and skip color grading altogether, as it is pretty difficult and most people don't enjoy doing this in the first place. A good white balance also goes a long way to make things look right. A lot of people skip that step and since your not filming in Raw, this is very difficult to correct. Secondly, your shutter speed should be set to 50 (not 40) on a DSLR. That most closely resembles the proper setting of 48 (2 times the frame rate 24). Most high end pro video cameras have a 48fps setting. When you go lower, you introduce even more blur, especially if you are shooting moving subjects. If you planned to do slow motion, 100 would be at better setting still. Hope that helps!

[@sherinvall]

I have been exhausting all my resources for live dance performance shooting using any DSLR I can get my hands on. It doesn't help when I get my hands on an amazing camera for photography and know nothing about it but you have cleared most of my technical questions when it came to cinematography for Nikon. Thank You. I'm using my borrowed Nikon D7000 as my C-Roll camera for an on-stage camera angle.

[@FilmLab]

Sounds exciting good luck!

[@need100k]

I've had a d7100 for over a year and never had a clue how to use it for video. Going to give it a try now. Very well explained in this video. Much thanks!

[@ArtofTonyPommells]

One thing to keep in mind is to change the audio from auto to manual (or somewhere between 15-18), so that you don't pick up too much hissing.

[@DeathCoreGuitar]

I always use 15 personally, because AUTO is just meh

[@karieanne25]

Thank you so much for going straight to the point, not rambling and wasting our time! well done!

[@reelsportrd]

Great tutorial. Very useful for me, as I'm a Sony shooter and have to shoot a wedding with a Nikon D7100. With this I know everything I need to stop worrying about it

[@sophieeffyvazquez]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I am just trying to get by with my filming until I can outsource this task. My friend let me borrow her old Nikon and your video helped me so much! New subscriber here!

[@kailanaranjo4921]

Thank you so much for this video! I have checked out a few videos as I'm new to filming with this DSLR and needed a lil' help. By far your video was the most helpful and easy to follow. So, Thank You!!!

[@diegoo.9487]

2019 and this is the most helpful video in youtube for set your nikon for video. Well explain more than others!.

[@Camkobo]

I watched like 10 videos before this and your video is exactly what I needed. THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY LIFE

[@FilmLab]

+KAMERON KOWABUNGA Glad to help!

[@jessicakelly4364]

This was the most useful and quick video I have seen so far! Thank you so much!! Keep them coming!

[@forevertrusting]

Great tutorial. I just got my D7100! I leave for Belize in two days. Hoping to document a bit our our trip. You really nailed the basics for a quick grab and go. Now off to practice. Thank you!!

[@FilmLab]

Thanks!

[@ericdfranklin71]

You should teach clas... Your video showed me a lot wow in that short of time. Straight to the point. Excellent indeed.

[@GeneMoretti]

Excellent video. I followed along on my D7200 and set everything up as you suggested.

[@maryflores-camacho48]

Concise and helpful video. I strayed from using manual settings, but now feel more confident. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@FilmLab]

+Mary Flores-Camacho Much appreciated!

[@MarkByrne1965]

This is an excellent video. If only I'd seen this a year ago! Many thanks for sharing this :)

[@photogirl7205]

I have the D610 and shoot mostly stills, but was looking for a tutorial to quickly set up to make my first video, yours was the only one that had real useful setup information. Thanks!

[@FilmLab]

+Steelea DeLucia Much Appreciated!

[@daithiod]

Very good and succinct introduction to the filming settings for this camera.

[@k.r.1055]

Thanks! Very specific information about all the settings, and you explained why we would use certain settings very well. I agree music is very annoying, at first I didn't take the video seriously because of the music, but as soon as you started talking, I knew I could trust what you were saying.

[@FilmLab]

Thanks for the critique.

[@andrewstuber]

Most thorough and quick overview!

[@mehreabeyene5583]

Thank you! I am very grateful that I stumbled up on your video. I own D7100 and your video was og great help for me.

[@karomanah]

Excellent video I have been searching all day for a tutorial on how to use nikon d7100 and I am happy that I found your video. ..very informative!

[@omaralimay14]

Excellent explanation about the movie making with Nikon. Thanks

[@rafaeltrujillo9545]

Very well explained. Thank you Not too many get to that point.

[@theseriousprepper4372]

Great tutorial. I was in old freelancer videographer are back in the 80s. Man how things have changed. I appreciate the great job with the camera tutorial. Looking forward to doing some filming. Peace out.

[@Rusty_Gold85]

Excellent Tutorial mate . Speech was clear and informative and to the point . Chapters helped break the main features into a clarity that made learning easier .Good use of the D7100 in close so description matched the manual touching .

[@FilmLab]

Thank you!

[@mr.incognito4719]

You have no idea how much help you have provided me with this tutorial, Thankkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk you very much... Subscribing for life time!!!

[@mrmc5628]

[@FilmLab]

+You See thanks! Much appreciated:)

[@blue28119]

A big help to me i have the D7100 and wanted to start filming with it

[@FilmLab]

+blue28119 Glad I could help!

[@charlesd.6704]

mannn, big thank you!! I couldn't figure out how to change the iso and was stuck with a iso at 100 and a dark screen... minus zoom + mollet! I will remember !!

[@ChittaranjanMaharana]

Saved me a lot of time! I was totally annoyed by the aperture. Even I started thinking that D7100 doesn't support that :D Thank you so much!

[@ashrithprashanth6972]

This was the best tutorial I had till now, just amazing😁😃

[@danflatt5586]

Best to the point video for this particular camera ever. Just came across it and very nice and no fluff or crap. PERFECT! Great job.

[@FilmLab]

Thanks man, appreciate that!

[@gaenhart1]

Thanks for the tutorial. I've had my camera for about a year, have shot a short film on it (puppetry, so very controlled environment) and have struggled over the year to understand the needs of the camera at times. However, in 10 minutes you blew away any cobwebs in my reasoning and everything just fell into place. Now I can wield the camera like a pro. Thanks so much for taking the time to make it, and for the quality of the presentation and clear instructions. Would love to hear what you think is the best lens for stop motion distances but with live puppets. Thanks. And bravo! More please.

[@FilmLab]

Thank you for the kind words! I'm so glad I could help! As far as lenses for stop motion I haven't had a lot of experience with stop motion so I can't really say.

[@samuelburri8703]

Very well explained! Nothing like it can be found in the manual. Thank you!!!

[@sparkymarkm322]

Now I know what I’ll be doing tomorrow... bustin’ out the D7100! Thanks!

By far the best tutorial ive seen

[@FilmLab]

+david wagner Thanks!

[@dwgs812]

Very helpful info, Music was fine and did not overwhelm the voice, which is the most important thing when adding music. Might not be to everyone's taste but you can't please everyone. Great info. Thanks DWS

[@FilmLab]

Thanks I appreciate your feedback!

[@meeshell91365]

Great video and you're a great teacher - you speak well and made this simple to understand! Thanks!

[@FilmLab]

Thank you!

[@Sami_Alblehe]

This is the best dslr video tutorial

[@FilmLab]

+Sami_1photo thanks!

[@joseguzman72]

Great explanation! I learned a lot regarding shutter, aperture and iso. Thank you for producing the video.

[@jacveragmail]

Thanks for the advice. I will try them next time.

[@AdvaitThakur]

Great ! This is just what I wanted to see and was searching here.

[@DocTrower1980]

A very informative video about operating a Nikon in a predominantly Canon field. Thanx!

[@devynsixx3273]

This was insanely helpful! Why was this better than 4 years of film class at my HS??? XD Loved it!

[@juancarlosleivaacuna1947]

Very good explanation for a noob like me on videos. Thanks a lot and keep on this good job.

[@justinkmiller]

Can't say enough good about the tutorial but I'll try. Short, to the point, good analogy with aperture and iris and finally, the step by step of each of the functions was nicely done. Hope to see more.

[@FilmLab]

+Justin Miller Thanks I really appreciate it!

[@acestudioscouk-Ace-G0ACE]

Thank you so much for this! I'm just venturing into video and was searching for a very basic "how to start" tutorial and this is it! Well pleased. :-)

[@sndman60]

A very well presented tutorial. Simply explained in detail the various settings. I found this very helpful, thank you.

[@barnabaschua]

Great explanations, super simple. BUT THE MUSIC THOUGH.

[@jjaylad]

best I've seen so far on what was covered but would sure like to see how to use a kit lens like 18-105 and stay in focus while shooting moving subjects

[@josemanuelgonzalezgarcia9770]

Excelente tutorial: concreto, completo y ameno. Congratulations!

[@geo80551]

Nice simple instructions. I still use a D-7000. I hope to upgrade this year.. i like the idea of shooting in N in picture control. and the head phones.. I hope to get a Tascam. audio mixer also. Thanks for the video.Keep up the good work and keeping it simple...

[@FilmLab]

You bet! Thanks!

[@aijazsaif8329]

Damnnn you are..... Great Wrk Brother... I Just Loved The Tutorial, Without wasting any time you explained each and evry corner of the cam.... It Was Really Helpful To Me And Hope For Others Too ... Thanks A Lott Love From India !

[@tomzahradka]

thanks for this video. i have the same camera and it was just nice to hear that i do everything correctly!

[@wdcaras]

Good video. Lot's of helpful info, even years down the road (when this camera is still viable) and under consideration by me as a D750 backup. One note. Please, don't anyone shoot video on auto ISO. Works for stills. Not for video. Choose the best ISO and stick with it. If the light changes even slightly the camera will shift to compensate. With a fixed ISO, not noticeable, with auto ISO there's a shift. Almost impossible to fix in post. My 2 cents. Thanks for the video.

[@rychusandbonita]

Thank you. Very simple but very helpful.

[@nigelharrison2551]

Excellent video,easy to follow.Plain and simple,just what I needed.Cant wait to try it out.

[@iancampbell2247]

Excellent video - really basic - but that's what I need!!

[@gjnelsondotcom]

6 years later... STILL USEFUL!

[@ronaldwolf2599]

Excellent tutorial video. Your 7200 has an earphone jack. My Nikon D5200 is lacking that. Big disadvantage. I am using a Liliput monitor to monitor audio, coming out of the mic jac. Also, very helpful to know that 100-1600 iso is a safe zone. Really was never sure about that. I might look into the D7200. Ron

[@steveallison7950]

Really nice tutorial. I needed a quick and easy refresher, and this was perfect. Nice use of different color temp lights in the beginning. Interesting affect.

[@vincentleeadams]

For the most part this was an excellent informational video, keep up the good work!

[@lkazanov]

Holy smokes this was amazing. The Nikon D7200 Manual was pathetic on the this subject. I left an Auto and I couldn't focus on anything. Will try your techniques. Thank you again!! Added to Favorites.
