@olegkalyan totally cool Pergolesi. I wish I had thought of shooting some scenes like that when I filmed it, the imagery is quite striking. The audio is slightly out of sync with the video, I just mention that in case you are going to use it for production. Easy to fix.

@olegkalyan thanks for posting!
I love the shot 1:45-1:48. If you did it, how did you keep it in focus, did you test before the shot? Was it a Ai-S lens?

I love to shoot in low-light with my D800, but just like by 2:40 it is a big problem to focus with fast lenses: while the eye is in focus, the nose is totally out of focus. No problem in this shot here, but if the singer just moved a bit to left or right out of her perspective....

New firmware released

• Custom Setting f13 has been changed to Assign Movie Record Button.
• With Custom Setting f13 changed to Assign Movie Record Button, Assign MB-D12 AF-ON is now Custom Setting f14.
• Custom Setting f15: Assign Remote Fn Button has been added.
• Support for CompactFlash memory cards with capacities greater than 128 GB has been added.

• When AF-ON only was selected for Custom Setting a4 (AF activation) and the AF-ON button was pressed to initiate autofocus during viewfinder photography, focus remained locked even after the user took their finger off the button, and the shutter could be released at any time. However, specifications have been modified so that the shutter cannot be released under the following conditions if the camera fails to focus.

  • Autofocus mode is set to AF-S (single-servo AF)
  • AF-area mode is set to Single-point AF
  • Custom Setting a2 (AF-S priority selection) is set to Focus

• When values for 12 or 18 lenses were stored with AF fine-tune > Saved value in the setup menu, only some of the lenses for which values had been stored were displayed under List saved values. This issue has been resolved.

• When the live view selector was set to live view photography with Custom Setting g4 (Assign shutter button) set to Record movies, a value for preset manual white balance could not be measured. This issue has been resolved.
• When the built-in flash was set to Commander mode, remote Speedlights sometimes did not fire. This issue has been resolved.
• In some rare cases, the memory card access lamp remained lit for longer than usual, and some time was required before any operations could be performed. This issue has been resolved.

• 800E - https://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/19005/

Philip Bloom says the D800E is terrible for video. Anyone have experience comparing D800/800E for video? Also wondering if anyone has tried Nikonhacker's patch for 64MBps video
