The excessive grain is due to my attempting to bring out the detail. Actual sample of footage from cam at the beginning.

This cam can get really close and personal as well as far far away shots. All this in a camcorder which may be considered a mere toy, and for less than £200. Can't be bad.

This camcorder is supposed to be my partner's birthday toy. Perhaps I'll just get her a bottle of cheap perfume instead eh?

The Panasonic produces a SD MPEG2 file in widescreen 16:9 32bit.

John, both the sharpened version and the raw version look very good, although I think you are right about allowing the tonal values to show the details: perhaps a small touch of sharpening and a moderate degree of negative gamma and/or positive contrast adjustment might do the trick?

Can you export at 768x576, rather than 704x576, that way the moon may look round rather than egg shaped on vimeo?

Hopefully the trip to Cromford Canal is on for tomorrow (Friday.) If you can join us that would be great, Nigel.

Your reply is not showing on this page - can only read it from an e-mail.

Didn't realize that it was widescreen until I saw it on YouTube, so my suggestion of exporting at 768x576 is incorrect, try these Settings vimeo.com/groups/3069/file:4606 using SUPER and it should display correctly here on Vimeo.

Great little camera John, I would give it to Joan and then when she is not looking, borrow it once or twice ;-)

Try using the contrast settings to bring out the depth of shadows (Blacks) - I use that quite a lot, and more often than not it seems to do the trick!

Thanks for the share mate :)

Rob.

I was wondering why you chose to share this again with me John?

Then I watched it a second time and noticed you've made a few tweeks. Well, it looks like you have sussed the contrast bit out very well and corrected the aspect ratio too (the moon is now round again ;-)

nice work mate :)

It may not always look so, but I do listen and bow to your wisdom.

Almost round, just 16 pixels short of a circle, as mother used to say...

720 - 704... Never mind;-)

... this moon is round from my point of view - give or take a pixel or two :)

keep on sharing John, I like what you do...

OK I give in.

What are you after lol.
