Even if u use the latest 85mm f/1.4 AF-S, the sound of focusing is still being heard.. Can't do anything except using external mic or just turn off the built-in mic and add some music when u wanna finalize ur production.

LOL ! My apologies ! Will resize later.

Yes.

Owh is it... So that means when you playback the video in your PC u also can hear the focusing sound? Please tell me no >.<

Unfortunately YES.
Well, D3100 is the first DSLR that offers this function.
Maybe the next DSLR will be fixed ?

EDIT : How about now ? Better ?

85mm f/1.4G focusing is noisy ._. unlike the 1635 f/4 VR. That one super silent

Anybody can help me verify is this considered front focus? Shot with tripod and wireless remote. ISO200. When I zoom in, non of the numbers are sharp in focus I wanna bang wall now......

If noisy, I rather get D

Confirm 2mm

Considered noisy for me since I'm used to AF-S lens .

Seldom use my 50mm f/1.8D, but more silent than that haha! I think because the 85mm micro adjust since the dof pretty thin.

Thx for the confirm, do u know the difference btw sending for Nikon to calibrate and I calibrate myself under the menu of AF Fine Tune?? I got no time to send it over today, and they asked me to try doing it myself 1st

Added on November 15, 2010, 7:36 pmHAhaa.... I think if wanna use the autofocus function for video, better to buy a external mic, the jack can use cheapo mic? Or how much is nikon dedicated mic? Previously I manual focus in D5000 video acceptable in noisy places, but now using autofocus, the motor sound is really annoying

That's pretty noisy
But I tried, very silent wor

It won't work by tuning AF Fine Tune. Is the mechanism.

Huh.... mechanism summore, I tot my lens prob coupled with body cause this, Nikon QC so bad

hi bro, i read n watch review said that d3100 cant connect to external mic... is it true?

Before this your lens sharp what. It should be the AF in the camera body. Send it to check.

Yes.. Other than D3100, D5000 and D90, cameras with video recording have external Microphone Input

Got hotshoe microphone for D3100 ?

What do you guy think if i get nikon d3100 body + AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G

or nikon d3100+ kit + AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G ?

18-55mm got use or not ? or not so important?

thanks for commenting me

U can't record the sound into the camera, cause u dun have the microphone jack, unless u are willing to use external recorder and sync when u are post-processing the video, which is troublesome..

18-55 useful when taking landscape and some not too far away candid.
35mm good under low light.

Well, DigitalRev uses that right ?
