So, I wanted to shoot. I went out awhile back, before the computer was even built, and I went out and covered a kids baseball

game yesterday. I learned a LOT. It certainly isn’t like putting together a stills package. I was surprised. Lot of ‘where is the button’.

I got home, and the the images looked good at first blush. That camera has excellent color!

But then, I started noticing, especially as I started pawing buttons, there is a LOT of, uh, something. The edges of vertical edges look like a jewelers’ saw. It wasn’t very apparent in the previous tests, but those were done in crap light. It was the proverbial bright, sunny day for this test, and it’s bad enough to make it unusable in my opinion.

WTH is that? How can I minimize it?

The camera has the Enhanced Vertical Definition mode. Would that help? Settings?

Also, I suspect there is an issue between the frame rate at the sensor, and the playback rate through the software. Any ideas on what the ingest settings should be? I can tell you, even though the capture board is touted at uprez capable, not a single mode is readable by any of the ingest or edit software. It reminds me of when my Commodore Vic 20 would overheat and started displaying trippy pics and sound. lol

Thought I would throw it out here first, but I may copypasta this to the Cow. Haven’t had much response there in the past, but…

Thanks!

Shawn

(I’ll have it up on tube here in a min. I think)
