I recently upgraded from D40x to D5100. Great camera, and experiments showed much better image quality.
The main problem I'm having is that I can't seem to get video footage to ever be in focus. (When it is, the footage is beautiful, but mostly I get blurry video). The camera attempts to focus when I push the shutter release button halfway, but it can't seem to find anything to focus on when in "live view" mode, even in lighting situations where it focuses without a problem in normal mode.
Also, on the little screen, I can't tell if the image is in focus or not.
Any tips on getting this thing to focus better? As it is, I'm unable to reliably get any good video footage.
