D90 video mode-need some help

[Jason.C]

Have any of you guys use D90 to shoot video?
I have problem with the settings? how do I lock the exposure as when I shoot the exposure value changes every time I move my camera.

Another question is, I get thoese 'waves of lines' constantly moving from the bottom to the top. I do I get rip of that....

Do you have a manual focus lens(best) or an AF-D lens?

 

[Jason.C]

Yes I have. What should I do?

Theres a way to trick the camera:

I'm not sure about the waves of lines.

Waves of lines might be from a bad memory card. I used a crappy one a while ago and switched to a high-speed one and it took away the slow frame rate and it might take away these lines you speak of.

There is a ae-l button.
In the setting you might have to change what that button does.
There should be an option to change that button to "lock" or something like that.
but basically before you shoot, you let the camera do its auto exposure compensation thing, and then you lock it when you prefer
It works well, but between ever clip you shoot you have to unlock the exposure and relock it, because it likes to refresh its self after every take.
