Setting aperture issue in video mode!...please help... at DVinfo.net

Whenever i set my aperture in the M option, Manual, i can do it without any problem, but when i'm in the shooting movies option, i can't set the aperture, i mean, i can change it, from 1.8 to 16 or so, but there's no difference in my image... has anyone had this problem before?... is it something to do with the lens contacts?... 'cause i get that error message frequently... hope someone can help, thanks...

Have you got auto ISO switched on? That could be compensating for the aperture changes. You'll need to give us more info to work on, or we can but continue to guess at what kit you have.
