I just go a fresh d3200 and freaked out when I wasn't able to change the settings I needed to get that nice cinematic look. This video was a lifesaver! Thank you sir!
Hey Flutterby, The D5200 is a great little machine that packs a big punch. We will posting quite a few more videos very soon on using the camera getting the most from it. Auto focus in still is pretty easy to control, in live view you will have a square in the screen just move that to where you want to focus using the mutl selector switch, also in your menu you can have a few different settings for autofocus from single point to continuous focus for moving subjects that will keep it in focus.
Thanks, that was very helpful! Regarding recording audio, I would say that -12dB is a region to aim for, but clipping (distortion) only starts at 0dB. The prevailing idea is that the higher you can record the audio, peaking say at -3 or -6dB, the better your signal-to-noise ratio. Going over 0dB is definitely a no-no in digital, as distorted signals cannot be recovered. I look forward to an "intermediate" tutorial at shooting video with the D5200!
There are two sets of options, depending on whether you have chosen NTSC or PAL as your outputs. we are based in the UK so are PAL, which offers us 50p and 25p. if you are using NTSC, then you get 60p and 30p
Hey Juan, If you change the white balance settings that will change the kelvin scale to warmer or colder ie: tungsten wb balance is 3200k so will be a lot warmer than say shade which will be a lot cooler more blue roughly 6000+k, you can set your own preset one and save it for a specific project go to white balance and then get a gray/white card and then pres "pre" this will save your preset and then just name it. Another way of checking is get your live view on change it watching it.
Want to mention that I just received a mini HDMI to VGAA/V Adapter, that has a 3.5mm earphone jack, and allows me to monitor the audio with earphones. Really cheap from China. Thought I'd take a chance, since I believe it was under $15.00.USD...Just plug the mini HDMI connection into the camera, and earphones into the earphone jack. While monitoring during recording, utilizing a shot gun mike, there's a bit of an echo, but with a wireless lav connected, it's surprisingly good. (I did use a Beachtec XLR connector, that allowed me to boost the audio.) Didn't try without that Beachtek adapter yet, but will try to tomorrow. Listening to the recorded audio, was truly great. Hopes this helps any question re; the lack of earphone jack problem. Regards, Ron
Hey, Jeff! 😃 I'm using a D5200, and I'm totally going to subscribe to your channel! So much fun to see other people enjoying this camera! 📷🎬 This comment totally made my night. *Have a nice day!* 💟
My suggestions is everything with Video, so it's totally perfect ;) Maybe if you could make a video about Lenses in filming, so whats important and which lenses are good for which film situation. I know you have a video about lenses, but a video more about lenses in filming. That would be really nice :)
This video reminded me of The Mighty Boosh: Call of the Yetti When Howard Moon was running Vince through his wildlife lessons. Not to offend you, you're not boring its just your voice and the way youre talking about it. A great video, thanks a lot, helped me a lot ^.^
Hey thanks a lot for taking the time to reply back .. I'll definitely keep that into account once I do my purchase. It's my first DSLR and my knowledge about photography and its related stuff is actually terrible. Thanks you :)

Hi, generally speaking the interlaced option is a bit of a con. with the p setting, the frame is changed 24 times a second. This can have problems, particularly with aliasing. The interlaced option is supposed to address that, It appears to be faster, but in fact it changes only half the frame each time. in other words 50i changes 50 x half the frame per second. this effects the quality of the video. Most people avoid interlaced if they can.
Hi Nabeel, The D5200 can only record upto 20 minutes at highest quality 29 minutes 59 seconds at normal quality, you will have to split your video at a suitable point and join them in post production.
I don't know if this is true, but i have always been told that it is to do with tax. Apparently if it can record over 20 minutes at a time it is a video recorder. Under 20 minutes and it is a camera. and they are taxed differently in Europe.....
no, i think the maximum for a single continuous shot is twenty minutes. Obviously you can shoot more than one depending on the capacity of your memiry card.
the 18-55mm is a pretty good all round lens. The 18-105mm isn't as good. It depends on what kind of photography you want to do. Generally speaking if you get a 50mm f1.8 , 18-55mm kit lens and 55-200mm, you are pretty well covered.
I would stick to PAL. Although they are changing it to DVBT, most Tvs will still run on PAL. in actual fact, if you convert your videos to mp4s it doesn't make a huge amount of difference, and remember that many videos are watched on computers these days....
I know I am very late on this but after spending countless of hours to search the UA-cam for the best Vlog-camera, my wife reminded me of our old Nikon D5200. I remember having Hughe problems getting the focus right. Is there any such a thing like auto focus on this camera, in video mode? Best regards! :) Ricard, Sweden
Hello Richard, well you wife is right, of course. I shoot all my videos on my Nikon D5200 and it works very well. However, for vlogs I would recommend that you don't move around too much. The autofocus will work and follow you around (set it to AF-F), but it can spend time searching for focus and that is very distracting. If you can, keep to a focal plane going across the front of the camera, rather than towards and away from it, or do as I do and set the focus with a reasonable aperture (f/8 at least) switch focus off and then try not to move around too much. Also, it is worth getting a better lens if you only have the kit lens.
It's a very useful video. Thanks for sharing. I have faced a problem while shooting. Brightness of video changes as things moved. Kindly refer me to a video about white balance. Thank you
Standard Nameo this is a difficult one, because there is an autofocus function on the d500, but i am not sure about the d7100. on the d5200, you can only shoot video through the view finder. in order to change the autofocus settings for video, switch to viewfinder, press the i button and select focus. when in the viewfinder setting you will see options AF-S (single focus) or AF-F (continuous focus). perhaps it is the same for the d7100....
i want to ask u can u make 1 video that show how to record video i mean like there is 1 logo which is unblur and after focus it get clear like that can u tell me how to do that?
I have a problem with my camera Nikon d5200 my videos look very cold toned I don't know how I can change this! When I take pictures it looks fine but when I'm filming the colors doesn't look like they are in reality! Could you help me?

Can I use a LAPEL mic with my Nikon D5200.... I got one and when I am recording it is not picking up the sound and only the background noise. Please can you advise.
Will the camera automatically split the video without interrupting the recording or will you have to manually start the recording again after the recording limit is hit?
Great video very helpful setting up my d5200... Please upload this video about recording video soon... Any tips on auto focus or just keeping the little bugger in focus would be helpful :P I lOve this camera and took my time when spending the cash for it... more detailed videos please - great stuff :D
How do I make my auto-focus settings work better? I have it turned on for video mode, but it is very slow and very selective as to what it will focus on. Is there a way to just set infinite focus so I don't have to worry about mid range or close range objects going in and out of focus?
mcanedo92588 have you ever found the answer? That's what im trying to figure out. I'm using it on a tripod and when I move things closer it doesn't focus on that object
hi i am a beginner nikon d5200 dslr owner, so i wanted to know what lens should i use for all purposes.... i like to shoot nature photography and sometimes macro shots....and i like to make videos while going on trip....previously i used to do all this with my mobile but now i want to invest in some good lense for my dslr so i want your suggestion thanks...
well it is safe to say that you can't do it all with a single lens. for nature i would look at the nikkor AF-S VR 70-300 f/4.5 5.6 IF ED lens. for video check out the nikon 35mm f1.8 G AF-S DX lens. the 70-300 can also shoot macro - though it isn't designed for that. remember your lenses with last longer than your body, so don't be afraid to invest in good glass..
is the a consistent problem or just occasional? i am going to suggest initially at least to switch to off and on again. but also, are you using auto focus, or manual?
Hi, (sorry don't know your name) occasional. I've managed to solve the problem (I think), which is to re-format the memory card. what that has to do with anything, don't know... Looking forward to buying something more appropriate!

firstly, you dont want to shoot in mpeg4 because it is very highly compressed (bad for color grading) and more processor intensive when editing and .MOV will give nicer playback. u cant change recording format in camera, if u want to record to another format u need to record to another device altogether (e.g. Atomos Ninja / BMC shuttle deck / etc)
Sidra Hi, i suggest you shoot on 720 and normal quality instead of high quality. I can understand that you want to keep the file sizes small, but in my experience keeping the amount you shoot to a minimum is more effective. Remember when you have uploaded it to UA-cam, they will generate different versions with different resolutions, so people can watch in places where the line speeds are quite low. good luck! let me know when the videos are uploaded...
firstly I would use a tripod to keep it steady, probably shoot manual and set the metering to centreweighted. I would shoot a test to check of there was flickr at 1/50 second 1/60 second and then make sure that I was shooting at that speed. with the shutter speed fixed, i would have the lens near its sweet spot for aperture and then drop the ISO as much as possible. good luck.
Hello....Im a short film maker, can you please tell me hows this D5200 is useful for me, and also explain me what kinds of video modes are available in this camera. I'm planing to purchase it by 1st week of nov'13
Hello, so I just got the D5500 and recorded my first video of myself, watching it back I realized that it always had to refocus on me as I moved, and it wasn't like I was walking, I was just moving my head while talking and it still did that, how do I change that so the autofocus focuses on everything on the screen?
Shem Goltz yes, the best thing to do, is set the focus by putting something where you will be, and then with the lens to manual, so that the focus doesn't continually change..
Thank you for this informative video, sir. It helped me a lot. :) Just one thing... Every time I watch a video that I just recorded using my Nikon D5200, there's this "annoying" sound that's always present. It sounds like 2 consecutive shutter sounds and it goes like every 5 seconds. How do I get rid of that? :(

Hey thanks for the reply back :) Kind'a got my head around the AF part now, but sadly the d5200 makes a huge amount of noise when it does focus :( Great for music video because you can hide the noise. I'm guessing an external microphone will sort that out. Thanks again :D
Hello, i'm so confused between buying a nikon d5200 or canon 700D, i'll use it for videos more than pictures. plz give me ur opinion - thanks in advance
Fuat Rhiyouhri ok, i have looked at the Canon, and i would say that as a stills camera the nikon has some real advantages - the lenses are better, the file size is better and the view screen is better. for video, they are pretty much the same. one advantage of the canon is the touch screen, but that is all.
Hi could you please tell me how to use digital zoom when you're shooting videos. Is it possible at all? I mean when the camera is rolling and the shot needs a slow close up. Using a zoom lens always results in a loss of focus.
I have a Rode Shotgun NTG-2 mic which I am intending to use at a wedding next week. If you can help, whats the best settings for audio on this? Thanks, very helpful video :)
+British Small Biz Videos I'd love to know that too, if you don't mind... My mic is the Rode VideoMic Directional On-camera (this one: www.rode.com/microphones/videomic)
+Humberto Abdo Hi Humberto, ok this is a really good mic. the important thing is to know that there is a small compartment where the battery goes with two tiny switches in it. both the switches must be to the left (0db). after that you set up the Mic on the camera and look at the levels on the back of the camera. I am assuming you have a d5200, but most cameras have a similar set up. go into audio levels and switch to manual, then set the level at between 8 -10. 8 is less sensitive, but will give you reasonable sound quality. what you don't want is to have the Mic too sensitive, as then you get hiss and background noise. Practice a little so that you are confident for the big day. If you want more control, go to my video here: ua-cam.com/video/1kcdpJF1Oig/v-deo.html , which shows you how you can listen to the audio as it goes into the camera. basic rules are get as close as you can and try to avoid echo. hiss is less of a problem as it can be removed, but you can't take out echo.
+CameraWize Photography I was aware of that switch after watching a video, but I don't quite understand how to change it... All I can see is a transparent lever that seems too hard to move. Thanks for the reply, though! If only there was an image of someone pulling this switch so I can see it...
Just getting back to you to let you know that I managed to see the switches. They are VERY little, aren't they? But again, thanks a lot for the tips, I'm a beginner and I'm very excited to test this mic with the D5200.
yes it is, but there are two issues. Firstly that the lens may need to refocus and the noise of that might be heard in the sound track. Also, if you are using a long zoom (i.e. going from a long zoom to a short zoom number) that could affect the aperture. for example the kit lens is f3.5 at 18mm, but the will be f5.3 at 55mm. that could affect the way the video looks.
I shot video yesterday and saw that it was very choppy and there was a lot of pauses. What did I do wrong? was it the shutter speed, the aperture or something else?
Gari Harvey difficult to say, but it could be the shutter speed ratio. generally speaking the shutter speed should be twice the film speed, so if it is 30 frames per second, the shutter speed should be 1/60. try it on auto for everything as a test and see if it is better...
Hi, I have a question. I have a Nikon D5200 and its my first camera so I am still learning. I was wondering why is its that when I shoot a video whenever people get closer to the camera the picture gets darker and when they move away the picture get brighter. Do i have some kind of setting on? I would just like to know how to stop that from happening. Thanks.
+LizardLickgaming COD2master yes you can shoot 720p video with this camera, which is good enough for youtube. The d5200 shoots a higher grade video, 1080., but 720 is fine for most youtube needs...
I've just picked-up the Nikon, and I'm wondering what lens would you recommend for shooting a wedding video, I was thinking the Nikon 35mm f1.8 G AF-S DX Lens, what do you think?
Yes , or a 50mm. either 1.4 or 1.8. you will need to be pretty close to the action, but the quality will be excellent. shoot wide on 1080 if you can, then let the editing software crop tighter etc..

Hi, I don't think there should be a problem. You will probably want to edit the video first. I would recommend doing that on another computer and then uploading it to your ipad. But it would be just as easy i think, if yo have internet access, to load your vids up to a youtube channel and then you can play them on anything.
tommy f. yes it is, but i would say that this is not something the d5200 excels at. the lens can be quite noisy when focussing, which would affect your sound recording and it isn't terribly smooth visually. manual focus would be a better option, though that in difficult to get right.
Well done! When using an optional external mic, (Rode Pro) will the camera mic settings, be very similar in sensitivity to the camera's internal mic, or do you have to over compensate a tad? Thnx, Ron
Can this camera be hooked up to a video switcher using HDMI to work in conjunction with two or three more Nikon D5200s for a multi-cam video shoot? Not recording to memory cards, but sending the video direct to the switcher and recording the shoot on a laptop?
I recently received a Nikon D5500 for my birthday and when I record video it picks up loud noises that's coming from within the camera. Could this be the settings or the camera itself? Ive set it up like your video.
Wani Ray ok what do the noises sound like/ if it sounds like the lens refocussing, then you need to switch the lens to manual. if the noise sounds like something inside the camera, then check the levels of your sound recording ( you should be aiming for 12 when recording). if that is ok and you still hear the sounds, then you may have problem.
we use a rode videomic. it works well. whatever you choose, make sure it is unidirectional mono, not omnidirectional stereo, otherwise you will pic up everytthing...

+Mateusz Slawinski you can record as much as you want, but only 20 minutes at a time. how much you record in total is dependent on the size of your memory card
The file C:\Users\Desktop\DSC_9156.MOV is not a supported file type, and it cannot be imported into Windows Movie Maker., can you tell me the possible solution for this..
yes, set it so that the peak sound hits 12. for example, i usually have it in 8-9 setting, so that when the speaker raises their voice little, it peaks at 12. it is always good to test the sound first if you can..
But I have an almost-stupid question (bear with me; I'm new to all this!). Should I be using the standard lens that comes with the camera (after adjusting all the movie settings of course)? I went and bought a 50mm 1.8 focus lens for portrait shots. Can I use that? Thanks!
+Melissa Aflalo you can use any lens, they will have the same properties and differences as when you shoot photos with them. high aperture (such as using the lens at 1.8) becomes something to be more aware of when filming as you may need a greater depth of field due to moving elements

Hi,I'm new to Nikon d5200,I like it,but my only question is can we flash when we shoot a movie?plz help
No, the flash can not be used as a light. You need to buy an accessory for this.
If I am using external microphone do I have to set the microphone to OFF?
no, the camera should just detect the external microphone.

Any tips on auto focus or just keeping the little bugger in focus would be helpful :P I lOve this camera and took my time when spending the cash for it... more detailed videos please - great stuff :D
How do I make my auto-focus settings work better? I have it turned on for video mode, but it is very slow and very selective as to what it will focus on. Is there a way to just set infinite focus so I don't have to worry about mid range or close range objects going in and out of focus?
mcanedo92588 have you ever found the answer? That's what im trying to figure out. I'm using it on a tripod and when I move things closer it doesn't focus on that object
Same prob... Kindly let me know if u got any solution
hi i am a beginner nikon d5200 dslr owner, so i wanted to know what lens should i use for all purposes.... i like to shoot nature photography and sometimes macro shots....and i like to make videos while going on trip....previously i used to do all this with my mobile but now i want to invest in some good lense for my dslr so i want your suggestion thanks...
well it is safe to say that you can't do it all with a single lens. for nature i would look at the nikkor AF-S VR 70-300 f/4.5 5.6 IF ED lens. for video check out the nikon 35mm f1.8 G AF-S DX lens. the 70-300 can also shoot macro - though it isn't designed for that. remember your lenses with last longer than your body, so don't be afraid to invest in good glass..
Wow thank you this helped me a lot!
Hi, Please help!! I'm getting (all of a sudden) a warning telling me there's not enough light, even when I'm over exposed!!
is the a consistent problem or just occasional? i am going to suggest initially at least to switch to off and on again. but also, are you using auto focus, or manual?
Hi, (sorry don't know your name) occasional. I've managed to solve the problem (I think), which is to re-format the memory card. what that has to do with anything, don't know... Looking forward to buying something more appropriate!
I am glad you have sorted it. I don't think i would have thought of the memory card...
Who'd knew...
Thank you. Your video was so helpful.
Glad it was helpful. There is more in shooting videos in our manual....

firstly, you dont want to shoot in mpeg4 because it is very highly compressed (bad for color grading) and more processor intensive when editing and .MOV will give nicer playback.
u cant change recording format in camera, if u want to record to another format u need to record to another device altogether (e.g. Atomos Ninja / BMC shuttle deck / etc)
can you make a video with these settings so we can see how it looks
Hey! I want to use my D5200 for shooting youtube videos like 15 mins long. What should I keep the setting at in order to have the smallest file size?
Sidra Hi, i suggest you shoot on 720 and normal quality instead of high quality. I can understand that you want to keep the file sizes small, but in my experience keeping the amount you shoot to a minimum is more effective. Remember when you have uploaded it to UA-cam, they will generate different versions with different resolutions, so people can watch in places where the line speeds are quite low. good luck! let me know when the videos are uploaded...
If you use this camera for copying 8mm movies from projector what settings would you use?
firstly I would use a tripod to keep it steady, probably shoot manual and set the metering to centreweighted. I would shoot a test to check of there was flickr at 1/50 second 1/60 second and then make sure that I was shooting at that speed. with the shutter speed fixed, i would have the lens near its sweet spot for aperture and then drop the ISO as much as possible. good luck.
i love your videos ! ceep them coming :)
Hi and thanks for the video .. what lens do you recommend for the d5200? Or do you think that the kit lens is fine enough ..
Hello....Im a short film maker, can you please tell me hows this D5200 is useful for me, and also explain me what kinds of video modes are available in this camera. I'm planing to purchase it by 1st week of nov'13
Hello, so I just got the D5500 and recorded my first video of myself, watching it back I realized that it always had to refocus on me as I moved, and it wasn't like I was walking, I was just moving my head while talking and it still did that, how do I change that so the autofocus focuses on everything on the screen?
Shem Goltz yes, the best thing to do, is set the focus by putting something where you will be, and then with the lens to manual, so that the focus doesn't continually change..
Thank you for this informative video, sir. It helped me a lot. :)
Just one thing... Every time I watch a video that I just recorded using my Nikon D5200, there's this "annoying" sound that's always present. It sounds like 2 consecutive shutter sounds and it goes like every 5 seconds. How do I get rid of that? :(
jacvj are you watching it on the camera or on a computer?
I'm watching it on a computer, sir. :)

USE an external microphone
Hey thanks for the reply back :) Kind'a got my head around the AF part now, but sadly the d5200 makes a huge amount of noise when it does focus :( Great for music video because you can hide the noise. I'm guessing an external microphone will sort that out.
Thanks again :D
this guy is hilarious and good
Regarding flicker reduction, most monitors run at 60 hz so wouldn't that be more proper to use regardless of PAL or NTSC?
Hello, i'm so confused between buying a nikon d5200 or canon 700D, i'll use it for videos more than pictures. plz give me ur opinion - thanks in advance
Fuat Rhiyouhri ok, i have looked at the Canon, and i would say that as a stills camera the nikon has some real advantages - the lenses are better, the file size is better and the view screen is better. for video, they are pretty much the same. one advantage of the canon is the touch screen, but that is all.
Hi could you please tell me how to use digital zoom when you're shooting videos. Is it possible at all? I mean when the camera is rolling and the shot needs a slow close up. Using a zoom lens always results in a loss of focus.
I have bought this camera in 2021
I have a Rode Shotgun NTG-2 mic which I am intending to use at a wedding next week. If you can help, whats the best settings for audio on this? Thanks, very helpful video :)
Julie Saunders hi julie, do you have an email address? i'll send you some info..
+British Small Biz Videos I'd love to know that too, if you don't mind... My mic is the Rode VideoMic
Directional On-camera (this one: www.rode.com/microphones/videomic)
+Humberto Abdo Hi Humberto, ok this is a really good mic. the important thing is to know that there is a small compartment where the battery goes with two tiny switches in it. both the switches must be to the left (0db). after that you set up the Mic on the camera and look at the levels on the back of the camera. I am assuming you have a d5200, but most cameras have a similar set up. go into audio levels and switch to manual, then set the level at between 8 -10. 8 is less sensitive, but will give you reasonable sound quality. what you don't want is to have the Mic too sensitive, as then you get hiss and background noise. Practice a little so that you are confident for the big day. If you want more control, go to my video here: ua-cam.com/video/1kcdpJF1Oig/v-deo.html , which shows you how you can listen to the audio as it goes into the camera. basic rules are get as close as you can and try to avoid echo. hiss is less of a problem as it can be removed, but you can't take out echo.
+CameraWize Photography I was aware of that switch after watching a video, but I don't quite understand how to change it... All I can see is a transparent lever that seems too hard to move. Thanks for the reply, though! If only there was an image of someone pulling this switch so I can see it...
Just getting back to you to let you know that I managed to see the switches. They are VERY little, aren't they? But again, thanks a lot for the tips, I'm a beginner and I'm very excited to test this mic with the D5200.
why my nikon d5200 don have the same frame sizes options like your d5200?
Thanks man you helped me alot! :-)
Is it possible to use the zoom while shooting video by using D5200 and D5300?
yes it is, but there are two issues. Firstly that the lens may need to refocus and the noise of that might be heard in the sound track. Also, if you are using a long zoom (i.e. going from a long zoom to a short zoom number) that could affect the aperture. for example the kit lens is f3.5 at 18mm, but the will be f5.3 at 55mm. that could affect the way the video looks.
I hope you are having fun with it. If you have any questions, just ask....
Nikon D5200 Channel pls tell me which is great nikon d5200 or nikon d3300?
+sandro amaghlobeli Both are great, but I'd go with the 5200 it is slightly newer and will become obselete a lot slower than the 3300
I was just wondering what file does the Nikon d5200 shoot on? MOV?
I shot video yesterday and saw that it was very choppy and there was a lot of pauses. What did I do wrong? was it the shutter speed, the aperture or something else?
Gari Harvey difficult to say, but it could be the shutter speed ratio. generally speaking the shutter speed should be twice the film speed, so if it is 30 frames per second, the shutter speed should be 1/60. try it on auto for everything as a test and see if it is better...
Very helpful 🙏🏾 thank you
Hi, I have a question. I have a Nikon D5200 and its my first camera so I am still learning. I was wondering why is its that when I shoot a video whenever people get closer to the camera the picture gets darker and when they move away the picture get brighter. Do i have some kind of setting on? I would just like to know how to stop that from happening. Thanks.
Allysa Gale are they blocking the light as they approach? you can adjust the exposure, if you need to..
I have a L340 can I shoot videos to UA-cam on that
+LizardLickgaming COD2master yes you can shoot 720p video with this camera, which is good enough for youtube. The d5200 shoots a higher grade video, 1080., but 720 is fine for most youtube needs...
I've just picked-up the Nikon, and I'm wondering what lens would you recommend for shooting a wedding video, I was thinking the Nikon 35mm f1.8 G AF-S DX Lens, what do you think?
Yes , or a 50mm. either 1.4 or 1.8. you will need to be pretty close to the action, but the quality will be excellent. shoot wide on 1080 if you can, then let the editing software crop tighter etc..

I have this camera. And I record videos. I want to transfer it to my ipad. Is it going to work? Please reply
Hi, I don't think there should be a problem. You will probably want to edit the video first. I would recommend doing that on another computer and then uploading it to your ipad. But it would be just as easy i think, if yo have internet access, to load your vids up to a youtube channel and then you can play them on anything.
Only one question. Is it possible to autofocus in video mode?
tommy f. yes it is, but i would say that this is not something the d5200 excels at. the lens can be quite noisy when focussing, which would affect your sound recording and it isn't terribly smooth visually. manual focus would be a better option, though that in difficult to get right.
thats what ruining all my vlogs
Well done!
When using an optional external mic, (Rode Pro) will the camera mic settings, be very similar in sensitivity to the camera's internal mic, or do you have to over compensate a tad?
Thnx,
Ron
very similar. I hardly notice a difference to be honest.
Can this camera be hooked up to a video switcher using HDMI to work in conjunction with two or three more Nikon D5200s for a multi-cam video shoot? Not recording to memory cards, but sending the video direct to the switcher and recording the shoot on a laptop?
The camera can be hooked upto a hdmi recorder so in theory it could be as it would send the signal through the hdmi but not confident on it..
How can i control the kelvins???(Color temperature) ? i hope you can help me! ! tks!!
I recently received a Nikon D5500 for my birthday and when I record video it picks up loud noises that's coming from within the camera. Could this be the settings or the camera itself? Ive set it up like your video.
Wani Ray ok what do the noises sound like/ if it sounds like the lens refocussing, then you need to switch the lens to manual. if the noise sounds like something inside the camera, then check the levels of your sound recording ( you should be aiming for 12 when recording). if that is ok and you still hear the sounds, then you may have problem.
thank you very good video
What microphone are you using in this video? OR what external microphone would you recommend for the Nikon D5200 for taking youtube videos?
we use a rode videomic. it works well. whatever you choose, make sure it is unidirectional mono, not omnidirectional stereo, otherwise you will pic up everytthing...

Why would the 1080P 24P look better than the 1080P 50i setting ?
The video looks darker and sought over exposed on the 50i setting
This camera has a fisheye options ?? and how many minutes maxymalnie can record video 20 minutes ??
+Mateusz Slawinski no it doesn't have a fisheye option, sorry. On full res, it will record for 20 minutes.
+Nikon D5200 Channel but is there a limit recording or example, you can record as much as a place of memory.
+Mateusz Slawinski you can record as much as you want, but only 20 minutes at a time. how much you record in total is dependent on the size of your memory card
The file C:\Users\Desktop\DSC_9156.MOV is not a supported file type, and it cannot be imported into Windows Movie Maker., can you tell me the possible solution for this..
if i am filming a youtube video in a quiet indoor place and i have just my camera (no other voice recorder or microphone) do i still but it on 12?
yes, set it so that the peak sound hits 12. for example, i usually have it in 8-9 setting, so that when the speaker raises their voice little, it peaks at 12. it is always good to test the sound first if you can..
But I have an almost-stupid question (bear with me; I'm new to all this!). Should I be using the standard lens that comes with the camera (after adjusting all the movie settings of course)? I went and bought a 50mm 1.8 focus lens for portrait shots. Can I use that? Thanks!
+Melissa Aflalo you can use any lens, they will have the same properties and differences as when you shoot photos with them. high aperture (such as using the lens at 1.8) becomes something to be more aware of when filming as you may need a greater depth of field due to moving elements
I order the AF-P lens, much better for video since it is silent while auto focussing and it also focuses faster.
@@aelorgames2627 can the AF-P lens be used with Nikon 5200?
not able to import raw footage in adobe premier pro cs3 for editing.....please tell me to do that.....
