DP ReviewJun 18, 2012 - Nikon D7000 ... Does it still not record when you're in full-auto mode?... in the display has a big line through it ~ indicating that it won't/can't record) ... This was the only thread I could find that referenced the same thing.... for me it's on my d90..... PIX 2015 VideosTalks, demos and panels253RX aeternus?

FULL indicates that your SD card is full and either must be cleared by formatting the card which will rase all the pictures or the pictures need to be downloaded to your computer and then erased from the card. You can also install a new card if you want to continue shooting and still save the pictures on the full card.

Based on this question, I would recommend that you use the Nikon D-90 automatic (green) setting. This is basically a point and shoot setting for inexperienced camera users which is what your question indicates.

I would not attempt to shoot manual pictures on a critical event such as a wedding without practicing a lot with the camera. The D-90 is an excellent camera with many, many incredible features but it has a long learning curve.

Using the automatic mode won't guarantee excellent pictures but it should guarantee some usable ones.

Hello,

The D90 movie mode is not perfect.
Keep the camera steady when shooting movies to reduce flicker.

It sound like you are not in focus when you start recording the movie. Press the shutter button halfway to focus, then press ok to record.
If you do not want the camera to change focus in shot keep the shutter halfway down.

I hope this helps.

Do you have the aperture ring set to "A"?

Have you been to the Nikon site to check for firmware updates?

The r in the display is not an error. The number after the r simply tells you how many more shots the buffer can hold before it fills up.

If you're set for AF-S, the shutter will not release until focus is achieved. You can switch to AF-C or else focus manually.

Make sure you're using the right connector and have it plugged into the bottom port of the D90. Make sure the D90 is NOT set to one of the remote shooting modes.

Or use an off-camera flash.
