[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 480567, member: 12496"] On the D800, it occurs when I select the Live View switch that says Movie mode instead of Photo mode, and THEN press the LV center button to select LV. IOW, instantly. [IMG]http://www.scantips.com/g2/mlv5.jpg[/IMG] It seems natural to select Movie mode BEFORE I select LV, but doubt I have to. FWIW, I did a little test, and did NOT select Movies first, and selected it after LV. Aimed at a shuttered window in a dim room, and LV mode A changed, from Photo 1/13 f/8 ISO 200 (manual non-Auto ISO selection), to become Movie 1/125 f/3.5, ISO 140. The 1/13 was not possible of course, so aperture changed (I don't know what else it could have done). But the aperture wheel could still adjust it (in D800). Numbers are a bit surprising, in another minute (after aperture wheel had previously been moved), it was 1/50 f/7.1 ISO 250. I suspect this is about the wheel? I normally do see a lot of 1/30, and I suppose it favors low ISO, but I normally do give setup more attention. This was just a random "turn it on and see what happens". So yes, the D800 has this extra switch. The D3300 manual for Movies just says something like "press the special Movie Record button to record movies". Your LCD exposure and display does not switch modes when recording movies? Still seems unimaginable that it does not. My theory: Have you tried actually in fact recording in movie mode to see what it does then? You do have a choice of two buttons and two modes. Sure, it would be good to see it in advance, still a complaint if you cannot, but it won't actually matter to movies if not actually recording movies. [/QUOTE]
