You are shooting Canon ... sorry, no help with that ...

Hey there
I am B.C. in electronics, photographer and Eneloop user.
Some chargers have extra circuit inside set to drain the excessive charging current in order to protect the battery during the charge. When unplugged this is actually draining the batteries. So, .. leaving the batteries in the charger - big no - no ...
As for Eneloop - still no substitute. Simply the best ...

:thumbup: agree 100%

And one more thing ....
Since I do a lot of video recording of my kids - I bought mirrorless Nikon 1 J1 ... it does fantastic job, ...and after that I never recorded any video with the 5100
the kit lens 10-30 is fantastic, but you can also buy 10mm 2.8 which will be even better ...

Will, I have 5100 among the others and I have seen the comments BUT I see that a lot of them have never tried to record a video. SO ...
1) You need wide angle lens
2) 18-55 is wide angle but HORRIBLE for auto-focus (this is what nobody considered so far)
3) You need AF-S lens in order to auto-focus with D5100
I personally like 35 mm 1.8 AF-S because this is normal lens and the angle of the recorded video will be just as you see it with your eyes, or if you want a little zoom 50 mm 1.8 AF-S
Also you might consider 17-55, or the other mentioned tokina and sigma, BUT make sure you try them first especially the AUTO-FOCUS.

Good luck

I was hoping that someone might know how to fix this ...

One of my other bodies is actually 2005 model ... &
If you have seen my previous post you would notice that I am a little bit more experienced ...
this is not the only canon I have had ...

Yeah ... actually I was thinking of selling and going to something I know that works ...

I didn't want to bring up the issue of manufacturer, but i definitely agree on that .. my other cameras are different brand and ... Well - they work perfect ...
The way things goes I might sooner contact eBay than Canon.....

@Armadillo - I used the menu and removed both batteries ...

@ CHG_CANON - As I mentioned before I have tried all combinations ... with this photo I just made photo to upload otherwise have tried all combinations .. so Neutral is not the problem in this case .
I have the same problem (shifting) even if I shoot outside on daylight - but the amount is different and I have to adjust again and again ....

@ haroldross - I have PS CS 5.5 but prefer ACDSee Pro 7 (much easier with fantastic results)

- And in general ... Like I said , I AM quite advanced user (32 years behind camera, graphic design, 3DSLR, 1 SLR & 1 mirrorles, and huge shelf full of glass) ... this is NOT about which settings I use simply because I have tried all of them.

Please make sure you have paid attention what I wrote - I tries all settings - that means ALL. I have problem with camera which shifts the WB unequally so I have to adjust it all the time.

I need somebody's experience with similar problem and how was it fixed OR idea where is the problem so than I can fix the camera.

Otherwise I master the settings and PP pretty good and I can take the most of the camera in every situation - the problem is that it takes so much time that sometimes it just isn't worth ...

I never ever use tiff nor convert to .. either original CR2 or jpeg (just my preference)

I just downloaded tone from the second upload and it is CR2 ...

?????
It is RAW image copied directly from the camera with USB cable ...
D400 does not create tiff btw

I think i did it in the first post on the second page but here it is again

Your post (pg 86 & 88) is exactly what I am doing every time the light changes and honestly I am tired ...
If auto WB was working ....
