[QUOTE="rlsnyder, post: 305657, member: 23858"] Thanks, WayneF and Figure, for your responses. Sorry to be so long in acknowledging them. I have, in fact, ordered, received, and tested the Vivitar hood viewer suggested by Figure, and I am very happy with it. It definitely enables one to manually focus on the live view LCD screen in broad daylight. My only reservation: one has to view in line with the camera. (Most advanced camcorders allow one to tilt the built in viewer at a vertical angle to the camcorder.) As for using the 3200 in movie mode, I will definitely be working in M mode, after setting the aperture in A mode, focusing manually, and adjusting the shutter speed to achieve optimal exposure. I'm sorry that D lighting does not operate in movie mode, but perhaps I can do something in post to provide more detail in the shadows (at the expense perhaps of introducing noise). I am also sorry that the 3200 does not have zebra stripes to help me get the highlights right. Perhaps a polaroid filter would help (by reducing the dynamic range?). Although I'd rather be shooting videos with my Panasonic AG-AC130 camcorder, I think I'm probably better off (certainly less conspicuous) shooting stills and videos with the 3200. I'm feel fortunate to have the choice of either. Russ [/QUOTE]
