GL2 Image Capture Card Grain
Anyone know why in PERFECT light conditions with correct white balance at the largest setting, on fine, the images I caught with my capture card look grany? It is like I am shooting at night when the grain shows up.
Is it due to the large size? I can correct it in Photoshop but I would be nice if I could cut out that step. - AR |

I should be more clear.
I have captured to the card. Imported to my Mac via USB. I have checked it on TV and it does look fuzzy. |

USB 1.0?!
If it's 1.0, then it can't capture full-stream DV as it has a max transfer rate well below (like 1/3) what DV requires.

Hi Guys - We're talking Stills here . .aren't we? .
I think all the evidence is pointing to Aaron talking about "stills" photos onto the mem card - yes Aaron?:

USB 1.0 is just dandy for piping stills to .. well . . it works nicely here with my Dell PC, laptop. If it is stills we're on about then let's "Refocus" - He He ;-) Grazie |

There is nothing wrong with your GL2; the resolution is crappy-er normal from what I see and hear. I bought the cam for video and never use it for pics. The new Panasonic PV-DV953 supposedly has 3 megapixel resolution. Check the DV.com forum:

Yeah cameras are always best at what they are MADE to do. The secondary funtions are always second rate. For example my GL-1 can do crappy stills but great footage and my Sony F717 does crappy footage (mpg) and great stills.

Thanks for the defense Graham. =)
I have posted 3 pics that I used my GL2 fror these pics. I also agree that it is better to use a video camera for video and still for still, but here they are anyway. The pics look much better shrunk down and touched up a bit. The pics are of a training simulator called the SimMan, not a dead guy. ; ) Check 'em out http://www.cpimedic.com/equip.html Let me know what you think. |
