[QUOTE="Blade Canyon, post: 466700, member: 15302"] Most serious DSLR video shooters do not use autofocus because the camera tends to hunt, and that ruins the shot. As for exposure, you can still use exposure compensation in the metering, and any time you are shooting a brightly lit subject against a dark background, you have to adjust exposure comp to -1 stop or something similar (you can check with spot metering). However, I took a DSLR video course earlier this year, and the teacher (who shoots beautiful cinematic wedding videos) essentially shoots in manual mode, choosing his aperture in advance (yes you could have chosen a smaller aperture in advance for bigger depth of field), and adjusting his shutter speed on the fly to get the right exposure as lighting changes. This technique goes against all of the DSLR video tutorials on Youtube which all say to use 1/30th shutter speed for smooth footage, but this guy's results are spectacular. So next time try manual mode. First pick your desired aperture and start your shutter speed at 1/30th of a second. Adjust ISO to get the right exposure. If the scene gets brighter, you can choose a faster shutter speed with the rear wheel. I think the D750 even lets you adjust aperture while shooting video (unlike the D600). [/QUOTE]
