<p>I'm a photographer experimenting with video on my Nikon 750 DSLR.<br>
I'm learning about it, but I am still confused. Ok, I'm shooting 25p at 1/50th second f8 iso 500, lens the best 24-70 f2.8, crystal sharp for stills. Manual focus, focus locked at three metres away, on widest setting 24mm, aperture of f8 should give enough depth of field to give a sharpish overall image. Camera on manfrotto video head - Locked off. <br>
I have an HD TV and what I am seeing on my 21" imac playing back the .mov file is nothing special at all. It's like the best super 8, or the worst 16mm film I used to use and nothing like HD broadcasts on my TV, not even half as good. <br>
ok there is no sunshine to bring out the colours, it's a dull day so no contrast to give a sharp look but it still looks mediocre and nothing like broadcast HD shot on a similarly dull day.<br>
I cannot spend another week researching all of this on the net. It's giving me a headache. I do not think going to an atomos from the camera is going to dramatically improve the images.<br>
Shots of people walking towards camera, the people look jerky. Rolling shutter is one thing when you do a fast pan, but you want to see motion depicted naturally, Put it to 60p at 1/125 second and the jerkiness is reduced, but then it has a very video, non film-like look.<br>
<br />Has anyone actually made a 'film' on a D750? I don't think people are, as on the net it is all marketing, 22 bit or 24 bit, full 10 codec or bit rate this or that, nonsense ! There is no website that shows any proper short dramas or documentaries shot on this camera that I can find???<br>
<br />If anyone has any experience in all of this I would appreciate some help?</p>
