D3100 Video settings (D7000 also I believe)
I followed you through step 1.PavementPilot wrote: I beleive I have found the optimum settings for video on my D3100, and I believe they are the same for the D7000.
1.Turn on camera
2.Turn on Live View
3.Press the 'I'nfo button
4.Use cursor pad to navigate and highlight 'Movie Settings' and set to your preference
5.Highlight Focus Mode and select 'AF-F'
6.Highlight AF-area mode and choose your preference (Face-priority, Wide-area, Normal-area, and Subject-tracking)
7.Highlight ISO and set for available light and aperture setting.
8.WB, Metering and Active D-Lighting are at your preference.
These settings can only be accessed by doing steps 1-3 in that order. Step 6 can not be selected until step 5 is done.
Anyone using the D7000, please amend this as needed if there is any different steps for that model.
These settings will give you auto focus and refocus.
Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

That was because I was speaking Nikonite, and not Canonese. LOL
