Shooting Video With The Nikon D800 and D810

[@Chillpillspill]

A lot of people complain this video is too fast but she covers a LOT of information in a clear way. If you miss something, rewatch the section you missed and google whatever you don't understand. Put SOME work into watching this video, she clearly put a lot of work into making it.

[@lhd7105]

I am very happy with this workshop-in-a-youtube. My D800E hardly ever get used and there's an ocean of features I haven't yet touched since buying it in 2014 so I am glad to have a sensei forever frozen in time to help me grok all of this. Thank you so much Nice Lady Productions

[@daviddavis5631]

Recently purchased a used D800. These tutorials gets me over a big training curve that I really appreciate.

[@beck5260]

can u tell me how the auto focus on d800?

[@frederikvanreusel]

David Davis is it worth buying a D800 if I already have a D3500?

[@StariusPrime]

I've been watching D800 videos for months in advance of a purchase, and I must say that this video has to be one of the best out there on the subject. You touch upon subject rarely covered in other reviews, and do so in a very concise way. Thank you for creating this.

[@yourfavoriteperson5328]

I've watched hundreds of videos, tutorials & reviews for various items over the years. Nice Lady Productions, I feel, has just raised the bar for professional reviews and Google University general knowledge. Thank you.

[@curlyhairedadhdguy2514]

This is the best talk on D800 and filming that I've seen so far... Very well done... Brilliant...

[@jfish032]

I just bought this camera and intend to use it to shoot some of the scenes in my thesis film. Thank you for this comprehensive and professional review. You come across as articulate, knowledgeable and refreshingly humble. The best camera review video I've seen yet!

[@DanilsandBlogspot]

+Jordan Fisher Hello! Do you still shooting video on it? Is it performing good?

[@jfish032]

Yes Danil! I am and it does perform well. I'm happy with it for now and for the run and gun work I do.

[@Cake...]

8:53 Great autofocus setting. As you said, most times I don't have time to manually focus, and I certainly don't want to end up with out of focus footage.

[@MikeTaylorPhotoArts]

I've only done stills with my D800 and soon to be shooting short vids on location. This in depth look at the camera operation for video has helped me get a good grasp of the technique I need to address.

[@acestudioscouk-Ace-G0ACE]

At last a video which deals well with telling you how to use the focus whilst in video mode on this range of cameras. Thank-you so much!

[@Stormwatch153]

Woooow! This is the best review of any camera I have ever seen!

[@rochelleeuwender6480]

great video review You can get the nikon d800 on sale now on www.dslrcam.net/new/nikond800 for anyone looking for this model They also have the e models for sale. Pair this up with a prime lens and you got a winner.

[@sandraraynil]

You showed where to look, what to check, when buying a Camera. Thanks for the slow paced narration. You are awesome! Keep going.

[@johngavan6538]

Such a clear review, everything I wanted to know about the video side of the camera!

[@Shawnakaydenbyrealtor]

I have been using the 800e and the. 810 for still work for years. You knowledge of video is amazing. Just playing with video now. Tha k you so much. Your a badass.

[@NiceladyproductionsCanada]

So happy you found the video helpful.

[@radio686]

Nice lady....I must say..out of all of the D800 reviews,,,,,,yours is the one that is most informative, precise, and actually shows us clear examples and a top notch, hands on experience...plus you know what you are doing...I am very impressed and thank-you for sharing your knowledge with us. It was based upon your review that I have decided upon this camera. Thanks!

[@blissdelavie3009]

Brilliant... thank you for being so thorough I had no ideas of some of the capabilities of my camera!!! Maybe just taking a few more seconds to be really clear how to access the difference functionality would have been nice , but still very good video.

[@ScottLBowen]

one of the best commentaries on the d800

[@bfdowns26]

Thanks!!! I purchased the D800 a week ago...and your video really explained the video features.......

[@taotoo]

Sweet little Puppy. Also, Awesome run down of the 800. Thank You, Big Hugs.

[@lureyourkidsinvan]

hey you know why your video on this review is so good? Because it's based on your own personal experience. You didn't quote specs, or repeat what other people noted. They are all from your own observations and that's so important. Like how you picked up on the aperature click noise within the camera. Most people wouldn't have bothered to mention that, but you noticed it. That's what I like and look for and can't find others who spot things like that. Thank you

[@TheAmmarKeylani]

Good! You have a brain and a channel to bring it out in a world full of photographers who has none! Thank you.

[@migueljohnson432]

Excellent video, I am blown away how good and simple you drove me through the topics. I just bought that camera because I needed a camera I could make some nice footage of my kids and still use it for landscape photography. Your video gave me that last little peace of mind that I did the right purchase. Thanks much and stay healthy. Miguel

[@NiceladyproductionsCanada]

Glad you found the review helpful!

[@danpos1]

Thank you very much for taking the time to help me get the most out of my D800e. Video is certainly more challenging than still.

[@Turboy65]

I just got a D800 and by watching this video I learned that there's a LOT more to this camera than I thought. I guess it's safe to say that I am now ready to sell off all my other cameras, except I'll keep one of my D200s as a backup and second camera for when its limitations aren't a problem.

[@jeffsiegel9518]

Gotta say, this is a great informational video! I’m a professional Architectural photographer that wants to start adding video to my mix of services. The D810 is indeed a phenomenal camera, and your video has given me a lot of useful information. Your narrative is clear and easy to understand, and you don’t rush through your presentation. Thank you for a very good explanation of the amazing things that we can do with this camera.

[@NiceladyproductionsCanada]

Hey Jeff, I'm so glad the video helped you out. The D810 is an awesome camera and the video capabilities are excellent for an already full featured camera. Keep shooting!

[@cyfacrider2008]

Good straight intro to the D800. I bought mine last year and I love it. I'm inspired by it. Just starting to shoot video. I find the focusing is very hard to control while shooting, so I just use manual focus or lock the autofocus. For white balance the user's manual says auto works best except in certain indoor situations but I'll look into that. With exposure modes, I'm still clueless. I just set a useful aperture. I'm shooting with the Nikkor AF-S 85 1.4G and the AF-S 50 1.4G. I'm overwhelmed by the results of these lenses. Thanks for the accessory recommendations. An external monitor is almost certainly necessary. At the end of the day, what you have to say to the world (hopefully something noble) is what really matters, the D800 won't limit your endeavors.

[@NiceladyproductionsCanada]

Yes, you can use old Nikon lenses on the D800 without issue. If you program in the lens in the non-cpu menu, it will even confirm focus on the lens for you and metering. Cheers.

[@stanleyvaier6234]

Great review.. it's not rushed and it's very detail.. prop to the narrator / author.. i'm convinced to get this camera b/c of this video

[@joshua.jebadurai]

Serious, best review I have seen. No blabbering and to the point.

[@Jensonsam]

very nice.. and learned more about equipments used with the camera..thank you

[@BrianMason4fx]

Comprehensive, detailed, precise, knowledgeable and pleasantly easy to assimilate "Hands-On" breakdown of the Video controls & abilities of the Nikon D800/800e DSLR. Bravo!!! Thank you so much for making this Video, it was perfect for me as I have been all Nikon for 25 years, but this D800e is my 1st DSLR w/Video, so I motion capture at a 3rd grade level !! But, Really,...GREAT delivery of the many aspects of the D800's Sound, Slo-Mo, focus, WB, K-temp, HDR, etc, etc. "& No Marbles in Mouth"!

[@Follayart1]

Breathtaking review really.

[@Pipinghotmusic]

Thank you nice lady for clearing up a few issues I had with understanding video settings. I have worked as a teacher but have never put a point across so succinctly - and charmingly!! I am non-technical so your style of presentation was perfect for me. I am now able to use my new camera for its intended purpose of shooting videos for our bands website. P.S: I am really impressed by the D800e.

[@ravichander479]

i use nikon d800e camera your review is excellent now i can take videos with your excellent review

[@scottabergermd]

Amazing review on video capabilities of D800 and D800E. Loved it.

[@mikesmultimedia]

I haven't yet played with the video on my D800, and this was a nice refresher of the issues I'll deal with when using the camera for video. One thing that keeps me from using the D800 for video is that I find the need for multi camera angles during recording and to have extra D800's laying around for that is a bit pricey So I end up using some decent Point-n-Shoots to allow the video quality between cameras to be comparable when editing the footage later between camera angles.

[@Rajihathiramani]

Very well put together..thank you very much!

[@DoPhuHung]

great tutorial and explanation, thanks!

[@MadHatterND]

I have the D800e. Though discontinued, it is still a great camera. I have hardly used video on it, but a friend needed a favor, and I needed to brush up on it. Thank you very much for posting such wonderful information!

[@NiceladyproductionsCanada]

Glad the review was helpful, that's such a great camera.

[@claudioabado6246]

Wow! Fantastic video! Thank you for taking the time to extensively walk us through the capabilities of the NIkon D800 series. I have a D810, myself, but I am very, very far from doing it justice, in video mode.

[@gigomikol]

Awesome Video, im on the fence about a d600 vs d800 and have been looking for information about video capabilities only, and this made me happy

[@NiceladyproductionsCanada]

Thanks for your feedback. There are some panning shots in the soccer sequences. As for jerky movements with panning of this camera: there aren't any. Really. None. As long as you set you shutter speed and frame rate properly you shouldn't encounter any. Cheers.

[@ttight11]

Lots of "why?" questions, but I'll be spending more time figuring out how to get decent video results with my D810, thanks to you. I'm shocked that you got the results you have!

[@STOKfredrik]

Great review! really gave me a bigger understanding in how and what i can do in video mode!

[@NiceladyproductionsCanada]

Thanks for your feedback. The D800 and D600 are so close in comparison, it would be a hard choice to make for sure. I like the small size of the D600 and it has wifi capabilities for triggering from an iPad etc. Unlike the D600, the D800 has the ability to change the Aperture in Live View Video using the back dial for standard lenses, which is a non issue if you use lenses with a manual lens barrel. D800 has massive RAW image file sizes, which is good and bad, and is more money. Both great!

[@7merlyn24]

excellent tips and tutorial thank you very much from Montréal

[@muhdisa4935]

This has been the most informative Nikon d800 video ever! Thank you so much. Subscribed

[@NiceladyproductionsCanada]

I would recommend the Nikon D7100. The D7000 is a fantastic camera and the D7100 is even better. It has the right amount of professional features for when you get more advanced, while being simple to use. Good luck!

[@JUSTxMe25]

That exactly the info I want about video recording on my d800, Thank you very much

[@KimberlyMallett]

Great review, I have the D7100 and hoping to use some of your tips from this.

[@victoroliveira3256]

That was great you've done an excellent job you tot me a thing or two................. Or 10 great review thank you

[@georgeglendupuy2677]

Nice tutorial, going to get an 800 next month. Hope you have more to show us on the D 800, where did you learn all this, you really seem to know what you are talking about, great job. GGD....

[@RichardALee]

Again great instructional video but two things; how big of cards to have and how long do they record in hours and how many batteries to have and how long do they last in hours? Weddings, ballgames, events. I want maximum quality.

[@dez5]

Pleasant voice, straight to the point. Great Video.

[@janicebutler442]

This was very helpful, I'm excited to see that you gave this camera / video such a good review, you def know your stuff !!!

[@NiceladyproductionsCanada]

Thanks for watching! Glad I could be of help. Thanks for the comment.

[@sgthanzo]

Amazing how you packed in a ton of features in under 14min. Thanks and keep it up!

[@trinkosol]

Excellent review, very helpful. Thanks! Really wish it had better AF during video though.

Really loved this video. Absolutely great narration. Nicely done.

[@augustinflores2198]

Very Nice Video Recording,thanks for Sharing

[@laurencegrant3680]

Nicely paced video. cheers. Would like to see more about staying in focus while moving !

[@iamcoolfool]

Hoping you will see this comment even though this video was posted years ago! I have the Nikon d810. Shooting video with auto focus has been frustrating because of two reasons I’m hoping you can help with - First, the camera is constantly refocusing. I was trying to get video of my newborn moving around on the bed and the camera kept focusing and refocusing. Sometimes it gave off a cool effect but it was mostly just frustrating. Second, when refocusing, it always makes a sound, which is the oicked up by the internal microphone and ends up in my video when I play it back. So back to the video of my newborn, it’s hard to hear him cooing because all I can hear is the camera refocusing. What can I do to fix these issues? Thank you.

[@rbp917]

Excellent review, you have one of the best video channels I have seen, thanks for you efforts!

[@willallenfilms]

Thanks, Great review of the camera, and very helpful. I'm sure i'll watch it several times to let it all sink in. :)

Great Job! What is a good universal lens to use to shoot video with the D800.

[@marianopreaTVR]

Very nice review and testing. Thank you!

[@MrLereve2011]

excellent and very detailed review

[@TonyBeazley]

Very impressed with your review and how professional you are with the presentation. Great job!!

[@mrwangkai]

Very detail video -- super helpful in evaluating if D800 is up for the task, video-wise. Thank you for the time you put in making this. :)

[@rajp6094]

Thank you so much for this great video!

[@christiansasse1266]

Thank you for the excellent tutorial, very informative and succinct. I use a D800 with Ninja2 and it produces great video quality. Also I did not fins any issues as others have reported that you cannot have cards in the memory slots if you want HD quality. Same is true for the D4. What I found to be a disadvantage on the Ninja2 is the lack of remote control, at least to start and stop. Other than that it is great for my 800mm f5.6 lens as well as wide field shots with 24-70mm zoom.

[@b09d4n]

Thank you! It answered some of my questions. Now I know what should look at when purchasing this camera! Thanks again!

[@PaulGillingwater]

Nicely done. Only things I would add are some comments about frame rate vs. shutter speed, how to adjust settings while recording, and why you might use different shutter speeds under certain conditions. Also, I find back-button focus is helpful. Finally, note that like most DSLRs, the audio would benefit from a separate pre-amp.

[@michaellblume]

Nice review, would have liked to see more comparisons between the 800 and 800e as far as detail goes, like when shooting your Chihuahua to see if the lack of an AA filter yields better detail in his coat for the 800e. I also would like to watch more of the soccer game and am glad you included audio -- felt like I was there for a second.

[@stevelinnell9631]

I have a D600 so this was very useful to me. My issue is the "motor noise" that arises when I refocus while shooting,.. How do you get around that?

[@kenburke2560]

Excellent video with a lot of information. Good sound. Thank you. You are an educator.

[@Hunty1]

WoW Kelly, thankyou soooo much for your awesome review, I am currently using the Sony a77 (great cam) and am looking to upgrade to the D800 - thanx for the great info, you present very well and I really appreciated all you had to say - thanx heaps again - i will now try and see if i can sell a kidney or something because I gotta have one cheers Hunty

[@digitaltrinity4572]

Great camera review, ive had my D800 for over 12 months but done little video work with it. I particularly found interesting you bring the external HD recorder which was something i had wanted to look into so for me its been useful on many levels. Looking forward to seeing some of your other videos now..keep it up...Brian UK

thank you for being so candid and clear I appreciate another females point of view.. I am a photographer/videographer and am researching which camera to buy.. I did not see any morrey sorry about the spelling on the frame you said had a little bit of that.. so my question is would the nikon d800 work for a Television broadcast? as b roll would it work for DVD made for business promotion any thoughts ? Taffi Laing

[@aravindraman]

Have a D800 and have been wanting to find the answer to this question so your help will be greatly appreciated - I'm shooting my daughter play her piano in an evening indoor setting - As a general rule, what ISO, F stop, and shutter speed (assuming 1/60 secs) to use? Also what WB and Focus modes to use? I will probably be on a monopod. Nothing very specific...just looking for general guidance. Thanks in advance for your help!!

[@SJ-vk9bk]

Great video, D600 shooter

[@proteus1]

Thanks for taking the time to put this production together. I learned something about video. Although i have a Panasonic 900 that shoots nice video.

[@RobertKaydoo]

As others have said: thank you for this very informative and helpful video. Peace.

[@desofire8483]

Scratch my previous comment, I meant that in terms of video quality, does the D800E handle high ISOs in video much better than the D800 (non-E) because of the sharpness that the D800E offers?

[@TomCallanan1]

THank you from Ireland - my first and best lesson

[@usadarylwilson]

I really learned a lot by watching your review of this Nikon DSLR for video. I disagree with other reviewers saying you spoke too fast, I thought your pace was perfect. Thank you for showing me what the potential was of this camera, as well as a few of the shortcomings. I had been contemplating the Nikon D800E, switching over from Canon after so many years (since shooting 35mm film, then digital). I am, primarily, a photographer, but I do enjoy filming video as well and helpful videos such as yours really inspire me to do more of the same. Do you still shoot with this Nikon D800E (now 5-1/2 years after you recorded this video)?

[@BigCityPalooka]

Really cool. Great job! Thank you.

[@ReneHerremann]

Great review..well done and thanks a lot..

[@paulfrancis2829]

Nikon D800 - I have cam’s auto focus sound while recording video. Even I used extra microphone (ME-1) I still can hear auto focusing sound. Do you have any idea?

[@michaelpoczynek]

[@microdoulo2250]

WHAT IS THE BEST SETUP ON Nikon d810 for video

[@AwddesignstudiosUsJILCertified]

You sure do talk fast, but at least you are very clear and this helps a great deal. :) I currently shoot with a D3200 and it's ok for now but D800 is on my list to grab when I'm able. My current images are very sharp but I do see some difference and that would make all the difference in the world if you are going to be making some serious bucks with the camera. Thanks for putting the video online.
