nikon d 5000...can I use to shoot video for long periods of time?
Had this camera for a year and still can NOT figure out how to get in video mode. Now I need to shoot sports video of say 2 hours and I have no idea if I should continue to try to figure out the d5000 video mode or go buy a 'real' video camera? HELP!
To record video, the camera must be in Live View mode, then the small OK button on the right side of the camera begins video recording. The camera cannot auto focus while video is being recorded so you must manual focus during video recording.
You must also use SDHC memory to record video and the video recorded is at 24fps.
This type of camera probably would not be the best choice for recording a 2 hour sports event. Continuous shoot like that would be best on a actual video camera.
