[QUOTE="msm11, post: 14106, member: 4767"] [b]Re: D7000 video capability --- Poor results Not impressed -- Need help[/b] I am a DSLR beginner, and am using my (new) D7000 with my old AF Nikkor 35-135mm 1:3.5-4.5 lens. My question is about continuous autofocus. With 3" screen active, I am able to set to "AF-F" (appears at top of 3" screen), and autofocus adjusts continuously, although slowly and not very well. When I change to viewfinder, no matter what autofocus setting I use, it does not adjust continuously. When I change to AF-C, viewfinder focus is very fast and very good for photos but does not appear to work for videos. Is this: a. a camera problem - these things should work? b. a problem using this camera with this lens - it will work with more modern lenses? c. this camera is not able to continuously autofocus (AF-F) through viewfinder d. I need to change some setting so that it can continuously autofocus through viewfinder [what setting(s)?] my main settings: The left side-switch on camera is set to AF. At top of 3" screen it says "AF-F". There is no A-M switch on the lens itself. The lens f-stop ring is locked to f/3.5. [/QUOTE]
