Nice to see my first DSLR is still getting lots of love and advice videos made about it just as I've bought it!

[@harleyhouse76]

I pulled out my Nikon 3100 and going to start playing with it again. Thanks for the tutorial 💯

[@gregfisher9881]

Ive had this camera for 10 years and never needed or used the video until now. Thanks for showing me the best way to use it.

[@4ia10_nicoarisenna7]

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH DUDE, this video helps my school project ❤️❤️

[@NormalGirlsPod]

omg thank you for doing this tutorial. i've had this camera laying around for nearly ten years and haven't made anything significant with it. can't wait to make more on my channel with this new knowledge!! anyone else making videos during quarantine?

[@ChancePickensMedia]

do more d3100 vids!!!

[@StudioGoldsmith]

I started out on this cam back in 2011. It was the most affordable video DSLR. Updated to a D7000 in 2012 with money I won from a film contest (that I participated in with the D3100). I got a custom image profile for the D7000 to get raw(ish) footage. Things have come a looong way! Cool vid man!

yo I still have the D3100 and so this video came out at the perfect time/year. thanks!

[@lilmissserenity]

I just found out these are the models my fiancé has and I’m gonna start playing with them 😁

[@shot1999]

D3100 is a beautiful compact camera, it has resisted a lot of smashes and has been with me in a lot of special moments

[@AI4QT]

I was about to rid my D3100. Then I came across your video. I think I can still get a few more years out of mine. Thanks.

[@KaioPatrick]

It's such a nice camera, all my cinematic videos has been recorded with the D3100. I always use ISO on 800, the camera catches more details and the lightening and darkness level is always balanced.

[@mintyjun]

How did you convert MOV files to mp4 for editing?

[@KaioPatrick]

@@mintyjun I don’t convert them, I use the MOV files for editing in Premiere, just render the whole done project to H.264 MP4 so I can get the best compression quality.

[@norahlepauvre]

1:02 Done 👍🏻 You deserve it man ! PS. My first time here and surely not last. You saved my life.

[@bluefire025]

great video! need to get a starter DSLR for my wife to start making some videos and I was hoping this camera would work for video well. this video was VERY informative. thank you!

[@ahmedtwahir]

I've been reading a lot of the comments below and I just wish most would actually do a bit of research (google) and read before posting questions with easy to find answers. So I'm going to reply to as many as I can and hope it helps

[@Redneck8380]

Thanks for this video. I learned a lot about my camera. I saw in the previous comments below about there is no external microphone. Any tips to improve sound? I am starting to make nature videos for work. I would like to improve the quality of the sound.

[@mirandariley5915]

I bought a fairly inexpensive mic from Amazon and it works well to improve the sound quality of this camera:)

[@Redneck8380]

Miranda Riley what kind of microphone did you get?

[@FIFIx30]

Thanks for making me sure no shutter or aperture is possible to adjust on d3100, however. I am not conviced if changing ISO do something. Only adjusting compenstation takes an effect.

[@mariorossi8355]

Ciao, and thanks for this video! I have owned a Nikon D3100 for years and have never used it, now I would like to use it to make videos, as regards the settings you showed in the video, I wanted to ask you if you have set the function dial to "AUTO", or on "M"? Sorry for the trivial question, but I'm not a photography expert, even if I really like it : ) Many Thanks from Italy!

I just watched your videos cause I got this camera 8 years ago and figure I try using this as my station video Yt camera and it still doesn’t look as good as yours. I was trying to keep from buying a new camera and make this on work since I already have it but I’m getting frustrated with this. 😢😩

[@FoxTailWhipz]

Make sure you have bright lighting! If it is dim this camera does not perform very well and it will look very grainy :)

[@anedracheree8163]

FoxTailWhipz thank you. I just order me two box lights to add to my ring light. I hope this will help me and hold me over until I can get a better camera. Thank you so much this video was very informative and helpful.

That’s what I shoot with.. beautiful footage 😍😍😍💗💗

[@LuisMorales-qk7tx]

hope you find this, but what was the setting you were shooting with on the top circle dial? did you just keep it on FUll AUTO? I ask because when i try ti adjust the ISO manually the exposure never changes, so i cant shoot in manual mode. thanks hope thats clear

[@revelations4396]

Good job. Now I need to figure out how to record quality videos and synch it with video. The camera sucks in this thing.
