To enable your own aperture setting when shooting video, switch the camera to the "movie" setting and hit the Function button and select either manual or aperture priority modes- you will now have control of the aperture setting and you can manually stop down the lens to it's sharpest value.........shoot video and check for sharpness- i think you guys would be surprised at just how sharp the A99 can shoot.

I finally decided to try out some video with the A99 last night.  However, I could not make this work.  I switched the main top dial to video mode.  If I hit the Fn button (under the joystick) no  option appears to select aperture priority or manual.  If I hit the command button on the front of the camera, I can get an option to use either Tv or Av mode, but when I select Av, a message comes up saying that is not allowed in this mode.

Can you describe the procedure a little more?
