Jello Effect on D90

JacePhoto · 4th July 2009

Hi All,

I am getting the Jello Effect on D90 simply by focusing in and out when using the 50 mm. Does anyone encounter this before? I thought this only happens when you zoom in and out. Any way to overcome, minimise it?

Thanks.

many names for it. One term is also called 'rolling shutter'. Video image moves from left to right (much like a jelly) when you are doing zoom/ focus...

Ok thanx, I did not experience this when using my friend's D90 on 80-200 zoom.

dont view it on the camera's LCD. View it on the big screen.

Big screen just makes it worse.

You may have to get a contraption to help with the focus pulling. D90's rolling shutter effects is very easy to set off.

Depends on how fast you zoom. Useful to learn about cine cameras and apply the techniques because it behaves pretty similar to a cine camera in the D-Movie mode.

Ok I got it now! You guys are talking about the movie function! Hahaha! I'm a dork, I didn't even know how to go into movie mode.

To get into movie mode, activate live view, press the little "OK" button in the centre of the 4 directional arrows. Press again to stop. That simple

Enjoy making movies
