Since there is no dedicated movie mode on the dial, the D5100 and D3100 only applies a 16:9 crop on the display once recording is activated, so you have to frame the shot in 3:2 and guess where the top and bottom of the frame is.Automatically set high shutter speeds give an unusable picture under most PAL region electric lights in 24p mode, and generally a higher shutter speed than 1/50 causes an electronic вЂactionвЂ™ stutter over motion instead of the smooth cinematic look of an optimal shutter speed.For example you can set ISO 100 and 1/30 and hold AEL whilst hitting the record button but itвЂ™s awkward and means you have to have your hand on the camera even when recording. Yes shutter and ISO are adhered to in live view mode, just not by the display or movie. Critically shutter speed and ISO are controlled automatically by the camera in live view and movie mode, although pressing and holding AEL for the duration of the shot prevents them from changing.

Take a shot at F8 and then enter live view, set aperture to F1.4 and hit record вЂ“ the manual states it should record at F1.4, the screen is telling you вЂњF1.4вЂќ and yet the movie is being shot at F8! The old D300 bug also affects movie recording вЂ“ when you enter live view to record a movie, you can adjust the aperture but the camera will ignore it.Due to a bug present since the D300 the camera wonвЂ™t apply the aperture change via the body to the lens if you are changing the aperture whilst in live view mode, even though the information display on the LCD shows the aperture value changing, the camera always uses the last aperture value set whilst using the optical viewfinder.To compound that issue, there is no exposure meter so if you use manual shutter, ISO or aperture in live view you have to guess what the exposure is going to look like. In P/S/A mode the display accurately simulates exposure like every other camera, but in M (manual) mode it gives up.It is clear that NikonвЂ™s philosophy to live view and movie recording so far has been that this function is only there to facilitate the point & shoot ease of use like a compact, because in terms of manual control their live view is as bad for stills as it is for video. The purpose of this article isnвЂ™t to slam Nikon but to draw attention to exactly what needs fixing. The D7000 meanwhile just had a firmware update, which doesnвЂ™t fix anything. We told them but they didnвЂ™t listen! The D5100 has all the same live view problems as the D7000, one bug has even been around since the D300 and they havenвЂ™t fixed it.
