Movie Exposure Lock on the Nikon D90
Penguin September 9th, 2008
There’s been a lot of buzz about the Nikon D90. Mainly because it can shoot 720/24p. This is amazing on a DSLR and a boon to all filmmakers.
Why? Because you get access to all of Nikon and their third party lenses which are much cheaper than film lenses. Thus, you get that beautiful depth of field all DV filmmakers strive for.
But one of the big problems was it had auto exposure when in movie mode. Until now.

There’s a small microphone on the camera, but no audio in. So if you want to record good audio, you’ll need a separate recorder. But that’s not that big of a deal.
