[QUOTE="Scrayen, post: 466780, member: 38028"] Horoscope Fish, I completely forgot about the movie menu during the shoot. Thanks. Blade Canyon, That is the basic information I needed. It looks like autofocus hunt is one thing that happened. Instead, I should be able to get the whole stage in focus by using Manual Mode with f/16, f/22 or so while watching the histogram. I just tried it outside the house and it works good that way. Only thing about using the wheels during recording is the clicking sound gets in the movie. Moving the dials slowly helps a little. Exposure Compensation does not have an effect during movie recording for me. It works in photo mode but not movie mode. I tried it inside and outside the house. I adjusted it fully positive then negative and saw the EV numbers change but the histogram did not move at all and I saw no difference. I must be missing something? I do like your suggestion about using Manual Mode. rocketman122, Never tried Power Aperture. I just now played with it thanks to you guys. I will make use of it. Much quieter than the clicking wheel. Yes the movie is jerky. Thank you for pointing that out because it gives me more incentive to fix it. The camera was on a tripod and I (mis)adjusted the screw so I could pan the camera side to side. I thought I had a good tripod for that but apparently not since it is so hard to do. WayneF, Before purchasing the D750 I researched online including about the movie quality. I found lots of praises about the movies taken by the D750 and not much criticism. In real life I am finding the movie settings are very finicky.
