    Excellent! I actually bought D3500 last year and haven't used video much, but wanted to learn how to do it properly. Not many people explain the aspect of shutter speed, aperture and ISO for video settings like you did here. I originally thought that the camera would figure this all out for me when I am in video mode. Thank you.

    I've used my D3400 as the main cam, and another camera as my alternate angle, and then synched them that way with a voice recorder picking up audio. A little complicated, but works well enough.

    • @NikonD5200Channel
      @NikonD5200Channel  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      ok, this is what I do. when i am setting up, i put a box where i am going to sit and focus the camera on it. then i switch the lens to manual. that way I know that the camera won't wander in and out of focus.the important thing is to keep the aperture fairly narrow. so i shoot manual, 1080x25fps, 1/60th second, f6.7 and 1000 ISO. move back, so that there is a reasonable depth of field, i make sure that the camera is 6-8 feet away.

      I actually did already couple videos but not all are done by D3400 because I have also FujiFilm AX650 that I experiment with for timelapses but I doubt I did any grace for quality as I'm still learning all the editing (iMovie on my iPhone because I couldn't find any free program for Windows that had all things I needed)

      CatzEyes93 that’s one of the easiest parts as you zoom in rotate the zoom lense to adjust it to the mm your at, and read through the instruction manual, but actually do it because no one ever does and that’s why you will get confused, and once you know the basics on how to operate it, turns it to A aperture priority and then finally to manual did that help?

    Sir, can we actually connect an external mic on Nikon D3400? Is there anyway we can do that as it doesnt have a built in mic jack?

    • @NikonD5200Channel
      @NikonD5200Channel  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No, you cannot connect an external Mic. You have two choices - either rely in the internal Mic, which isn't too bad, or use an external recorder. The advantage of that is that you can get the mic much closer to the sound source. You don't have to spend a lot on a recorder , you can get an app on your mobile phone that will do it. Then you just synchronise the video and sound in the editing software.

    but how to set the length of available recording time to the limit of memory card capacity?

    • @NikonD5200Channel
      @NikonD5200Channel  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      There is no particular way to do this. the camera will only record a maximum of 29 minutes or 4GB on the card. At 1080, 25 frames per second it records about 170mb per minute. if you know how much space you have on your card, you could work it out from that. when the space on the card is less than the maximum recording time, the time available will show when you are recording.

  • @opencanvasih

    Hi there,
    I am trying to do timelapse with my Nikon D3400. You talked about it, in the beginning, could you please elaborate a bit more.
    How to do it? I had Nikon D90 the intervalometer for that one doesnt work for Nikon D3400.

    • @NikonD5200Channel
      @NikonD5200Channel  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      There is no time-lapse function on the D3400.
      You have two options: the first is to shoot your videos in Miniature Effects. This shoots the video as a time-lapse video and puts it together in the camera to play straight away. However it keeps the miniature effect setting of blurring around the edges. This may not be a problem if your subject is in the middle of the frame, but if you are shooting a landscape and want to catch the moving clouds etc, it isn’t going to work.
      To do this, turn the mode dial round to Effects, then turn the rotate dial until you get the Miniature Effects option and then press the video start button.
      By far the best way is to get an intervalometer. This plugs into your D3400 and allows you to operate the shutter remotely. It also allows you to fire the shutter a certain number of times at set intervals. They are not expensive, just make sure they will operate a Nikon D3400.
      Here is one, for example: www.amazon.co.uk/Andoer®-Viltrox-Intervalometer-Control-Shutter-As-Shown/dp/B00N3JQW7U/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1510569209&sr=8-2&keywords=Time+Lapse+Intervalometer++nikon
      When shooting, you should be on manual mode and also manual focus - to prevent the camera changing the exposure or refocusing during the shoot. Ideally you should try to stay out of live view as this will drain the battery faster. You are going to shoot 25-30 frames for each second of video, so the battery must be fully charged - if you are shooting 15 seconds of video, you will need to take around 450 frames possibly over a period of over an hour.
      The time between each frame depends on what you are shooting, but here is a rough guide:
      Clouds moving very slowly, interval of 10 seconds.
      Clouds moving normally: interval of 5 seconds.
      Clouds moving very fast: interval of 3 seconds.
      People walking down the street: interval of 2 seconds.
      Path of the sun on a clear day, interval of 30 seconds.
      Night landscapes, stars, moon, etc.: interval of 20 to 30 seconds.
      As you can see this is a big commitment, so it is a good idea to do some tests first and plan well. it is worth making sure that you have a large memory card and plenty of room on your computer.
      The software recommended at the moment is Picasa from Google, which you can download for free (please be careful where you get it from). I don’t have it myself, but this video shows you how simple it is to use. th-cam.com/video/ZuI9dep0dGo/w-d-xo.html
      I hope that helps. let me know how it works for you!

      WOW..... I am totally pleasantly surprised how much time and care you have taken to answer me.
      You, sir, are an amazing person.
      Actually, I did not ever try to discover anything from the effects dial in the camera.
      Now not just I found about Miniature Effect but also all other effects.
      Nokia D3400 doesn't have any GPS port so the usual intervalometer does not work here. And it doesn't have a wireless function so apps on a smartphone do not work either.
      My option is an expensive one an intervalometer from Nikon which is worth $140 here in Australia.
      I really appreciate your reply.
      I hope people return your kindness with gratitude. thank you

      It depends on how much you know about photography and what you want to photograph. A good basic DSLR camera, like this D3400 or a Canon 1300d/T6 would be a good start if you know the basics. They have the advantage of you being able to change lenses and use off camera flash to widen your experience. With those you can shoot almost anything. If you are a beginner, you might consider a good bridge camera, with a zoom lens. this would allow you to practice and then, once you have decided on what you want to do, you can upgrade accordingly.
