I recently purchased a Panasonic NV-GS70 and am experiencing what could best be described as extreme disappointment.
All footage I have taken to date looks OK on the LCD (as good as 2.5" can look) but when displayed on my TV (Grundig 76cm, 16:9, 100hz) via AV cable the image is very grainy. Colours and brightness are good bit the grainy image is very disappointing. I get the sam on my second TV (Grundig 68cm 4:3).
Is this common via the AV interface with DV cameras (ie do I need to use the S-Video or IEEE1394 connectors) to get the sort of quality I would expect from a 3CCD camera. Currently the picture is not much better than my old analogue camera.
I have checked the camera settings but apart from SP / LP there doesn't apear to be any settings that could cause this.
I am using a new tape and have tried cleaning the heads as well.
Any thoughts would be apreciated - if it doesn't get better I think I'll take it back.
Thanks in advance.
