NIKON D90 LOW NOISE RECIPE
NIKON D90 LOW NOISE RECIPE
1. You will need a manual lens or use the trick I posted earlier.
2. Open the lens to it's widest aperture. This forces the ISO down.
3. Turn on the live view.
4. Zoom completely in with the zoom/qual button.
5. Point the camera at a white card or light colored illuminated object.
6. close the aperture click by click and evaluate the noise. (If it's noisy at the widest aperture, add more light to your scene.)
7. When noise begins to appear, stop and open the aperture until the image is noise free and press the AE-L button.
8. Zoom back out and evaluate your scene.

OK, I finally have an understanding of how I achieved low noise with the Nikon d90.
Here is a test video.
Up next, my secret recipe....

NIKON D90 - a day at the mall
Stealing shots was never this easy!
Normally, when you take a video camera into a store, the manager will shut you down and tell you a bunch of crap about corporate policy. Apparently these polices don't apply to the D90. At one point I actually had store employees ducking out of the way and apologizing for getting in my shot.
I did have a few issues with noise, but I think I have it sorted out. This camera forces you to think organically. It doesn't tell you what shutter or ISO your shooting. Although, I do have a trick to control the exposure manually.
I used the Tamron 28-75 2.8 for both videos. This is an automatic lens that has a manual aperture ring. If your lens has this ring, you can stop rotating just before the it clicks when attaching it to the camera. Now you have a manual lens!

Sorry for not posting last night. I ran into some issues with noise and needed to sort it out.

Busy Day
Today is hectic. I'm trying to make time for some lighting tests with dolly movement. I have a photo shoot at 4:00pm and a pre-production meeting at 7:00. Fear not, I will try to post results tonight.

NIKON D90 TAKE TWO: testing,testing, and more testing
After a long day of testing Nikon's d90, one thing is certain. This little camera kicks ass.
This is so much better than sticking a dof adapter on the end of a video camera. The images are rendered beautifully and problems such as dust are no longer a concern. Oh, and lets not forget the simplicity of this rig. Select your lens, turn on the camera and go. OK, it's not quite that simple, but well get more in depth tomorrow.
Below is a video to hold you over.
