[QUOTE="bigmags14, post: 116134, member: 12933"] I need some video recording information cleared up. I can't actually view my video because my mac isn't with me. 1. The D3100 has 1080p video at 24fps and 720p video at 30fps. Which is better? All i'm really gonna do with any video i take is view it on my mac. I'm not editing it, putting it on a tv and probably not puting it on youtube (maybe). I understand that the 1080p is better quality video, but the frames per second confuses me. People say that the 30 fps will be smoother than the 24fps. I'm not recording sports or anything. Just normal video of probably beaches and maybe around town. All i'm doing is viewing the video on my mac using quicktime player and possibly uploading it to youtube. Can I just use the 1080p or will the 720p give me better results because of the frame rate? I mean I read that the 24fps give you some sort of film looking video or something? I'm not sure I just need this cleared up. I'm just taking normal video. I'm not doing anything special with it I just want it to look good. 2. I usually use manual mode for video. I usually just use an aperture of f/8 or whatever aperture I would use for pictures. Is that ok? Also, I heard that the shutter speed for video is tied with you frame rate for video. It said if you have 24fps, use 1/50 and for 30fps, use 1/60. Basically multiply the fps by two. Is that correct? I know it's long, I just need this cleared up. I want to take some good video while i'm on vacation. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
