S200 Video Quality

[Deebee]

Hi all.

I'm new to the site (had my S200 about a week), but am very impressed by the quality of the questions and answers I see here. I'm also delighted with the S200!

My question regards the quality of video clips that I take with my camera. I shoot using the Medium resolution setting (I want more than 4 seconds), but am disappointed by the quality of the image. It's very grainy, with colour bleed from bright to dark areas. Is this the norm for video using the S200, or I am doing something wrong? Is there any way I can increase the quality without limiting myself to 4 seconds? Post-processing on the PC, for example?

Appreciate any help.

Hi Deebee,

I think this is the norm using the S200 to capture video clips. I was disappointed too when I used the S200 to capture video. The best quality for V2 can only capture 4 secs of video and the quality is worst than some other digi cameras that I've seen from my colleagues such as the Olympus C40 and Nikon 885.
