I think Exposure simulation mode is really best for video - it allows you to set the exposure visually and lock it* before recording. It does change the settings once you start recording, but it does so in such a way as to maintain the visual exposure level you've set.
In this mode I've had one situation where I deliberately underexposed in bright sunlight via small aperture, and once I hit record it switched to wide open (f4 on the kit lens, you can feel the lens click when it does this) and shutter speed jumped to 1/500 in order to preserve the underexposed look.
* to do this you have to be in aperture or shutter priority modes
