Videos are very natural-looking, under a variety of lighting conditions.Ĭompression artifacts are very well controlled in the Nikon D3200's video, even when the camera is panning or the subject is moving rapidly: While you lose detail from the inter-frame compression, the resulting video is still very smooth-looking, with no blocky artifacts. Contrast and color are both to our liking, with its videos having plenty of zip, without appearing too contrasty or with oversaturated color. Night scenes under typical city street-lighting are usable, but show quite a bit of image noise. It's best for shooting in daylight, reasonably well-lit interiors, or shortly after the sun sets. The Nikon D3200 produces pretty good-quality video, with good detail, modest motion artifacts, and pleasing color.
#Nikon d3200 full#
Pretty much any computer or editing program made within the last 5 years should be able to play its files with little problem, although the full 1,920 x 1,080 resolution files may strain older systems. The Nikon D3200 saves its video files in the MOV format, using MPEG-4 encoding. Note that the Nikon D3200 records video at 25p and 50p instead of 30p and 60p respectively when PAL video mode is selected. The 60 frames/second frame rate available in 1,280 x 720 mode is great for capturing smooth-looking action, but won't be as good in low-light situations, because the camera can't use a shutter speed longer than 1/60 second. The lower frame rate can look choppy, though, particularly when shooting in bright light with fast shutter speeds. The 24 frames/second mode is popular with some people, as they feel it gives a more "movie like" look to their videos, because 24fps is the frame rate for cinema. The Nikon D3200 offers three different video resolutions, three frame rates, and two quality settings in combinations as shown below: Nikon D3200 Video Speeds & Feeds: Image size, frame rate, and file format
#Nikon d3200 movie#
Single frames can be selected from movie files and saved as separate JPEG files.Movies can be "trimmed" in-camera, selecting just the portion you want and saving it as a new file.Flicker-reduction mode for both 60Hz and 50Hz light sources.Still image can be captured while in video recording mode, but doing so stops the recording.Built-in monaural or external stereo microphone, sensitivity adjustable (both unusual in entry-level DSLRs).EV adjustment (exposure compensation) can be selected prior to or during recording.
#Nikon d3200 manual#
Shutter speed and ISO can be controlled in Manual exposure mode.Aperture can be controlled in Aperture-priority or Manual exposure modes, but only before recording begins.Manual focus also available in movie mode.Autofocus can be triggered during movie recording by pressing the shutter button, or continuous AF can be enabled.MOV file format, with H.264/MPEG-4 encoding.TTL (through the lens) matrix metering using the main image sensor.Choice of two compression levels High or Normal quality.Here's a quick rundown of its video capabilities, along with our usual selection of sample videos at the bottom. The Nikon D3200's video system is surprisingly capable for an entry-level camera its exposure control and audio recording options in particular going far beyond those of most entry-level cameras. Most DSLRs offer HD video recording these days, and the Nikon D3200 is no exception.
