How to zoom in with Nikon d 800 movie mode?

Q. Hi, I would deeply appreciate if someone could help me. I'm shooting a documentary with Nikon D800 but I can't seem to make a zoom in while I'm filming, or zoom to get extreme close ups.
I would deeply appreciate the help :)
Thanks :)

A. Extreme close ups will require you to use a macro lens like the 105 mm f/2.8 so you can maintain some distance from the subject

Zooming is rarely used when shooting video. The zoom lens is used to crop the frame without needed to move the camera, rarely anything else

When you see a video that is full of "zooms" it shows that the director is not an experienced video shooter.

Think of a zoom in the script as an exclamation point. After while , too many !!!!!!!! get boring and you lose your audience.

Take a look at this video shot using an older Nikon D7000. After viewing it with the sound off, look at your video script again and try to remove all but one or two zooms.

While the director of this video used three zoom lenses and one prime, you will not see any zooming going on (but for a very short few seconds at the end)

Most of the camera movements are either dolly's, pans, jib shots and a couple aerial shots using a small remote controlled helicopter.

EDIT: What accessories do you have? Do you have a Loupe similar to this?

Here are some more links to the kinds of accessories you will eventually want if you intend to shoot video using a dSLR

i have canon t1i. I confused to upgrade my camera to one of 5D markiii or nikon D800. help me please?

Q. i have this lenses canon 85 f1.8, canon 15- 85mm f3.5-5.6, canon18-55 , canon 55-250. Is Nikon d800 better than canon 5d markiii? if its better is it that much to i change all of this.

A. Given that you really don't have much investment in lenses, I think you could upgrade to either camera.

There isn't a tremendous difference between the two in terms of image quality. Both are going to produce excellent images that will blow up easily to 40X60 prints. I would try both of them and see which one feels better in your hand and has more intuitive controls.

I need some advice on what software I should buy for editing digital photographs?

Q. I am not a professional; I have a Nikon D800 and shoot Raw. I don't shoot hundreds of pictures at a time. Cost is not particularly an issue, but dont want to waste money either. Thanks

A. Photoshop Elements does 90% of what full blown Photoshop CS6 does & will probably do all you'll ever need. Costs less than £100.

Where it is cheaper to buy Nikon D800 at Bangkok or Abu Dhabi airport?

Q. Will be in Bangkok via Abu Dhabi airports this summer and wanted to buy Nikon D800. I on the way we will have a stop over in Abu Dhabi, I am not sure whether I should buy the camera there or wait until we get to Bangkok.

A. Be aware that when you return to your country of origin you may end up having to pay import taxes on your new purchase. This will probably mean you end up paying more than you would in your country of origin, and don't even have the peace of mind of having a warranty that you can use at home!

What camera should I buy Nikon D800 or Canon 5D mark III?

Q. I need to buy a new camera, I want a work horse. But I can't decide between these two cameras. I'm a Nikon fan-boy at heart, but the mark III is one helluva camera. I already possess a number of lenses for Nikon and Canon so that's not an issue. Which would you pick and why?

A. Hang on for a couple of months I've got a feeling Canon is about to announce a new fullframe soon. Rumor? No, its just that my dealer has dropped the price of the 5DM3 down to $2858 and its not even Xmas, something is afoot.

P.S. I don't normally respond to fools but whoever gave the thumbs down, put up or shut up!

Will the price of the Nikon D7000 come down soon with newer generation cameras coming out?

Q. Should I stop waiting for the price of the Nikon D7000 to come down? I've seen that Nikon will be offering the Nikon D800 for retail sale soon. Does that mean there will also be a Nikon D8000 available soon, and will the availability of any newer generation Nikon cause the D7000 to be reduced in price?

A. If you look on the Nikon Website, you will see that the D90 that was replaced by the D7000 was reduced about $300, yet is still being sold.

What this may tell you is that when the new replacement for the D7000 is eventually released, a similar discount may be available.

However, if you need or want a D7000, waiting around for that to happen may not be a good idea.

The D80 was replaced two years later by the D90 and another two years elapsed before the D7000 became available. What that means is that it may be that the replacement for the D7000 may not be showing up until about the end of the year or beginning of 2013.

As dSLR's become more and more sophisticated, the time between new updates has become longer and longer. It could be, that we will not be seeing many changes in the + $1,000 cameras for as long as three years. Just remember, the Nikon D3 is just now being replaced by the D4, 4 years after its introduction.
