Infoseite // Canon XM2 quality is disappointing



Frage von joke24:


Hi:)

So my friends and I will soon be a film and we get the Canon XM2 free disposal.

Now I have some test videos with this rotated, but the result is disappointing.

The videos are not most peculiar sharp, so funny milky, almost.

Is it s.der Camera or am I doing something wrong?
Since this camera has so many good reviews got awarded.

A few images from a test video:

Antwort von Manuell:

Hi,
So post your pictures look very bad and the XM2 is not HD.Camera, but should still provide a good picture.

Incidentally you will the Canon XL1 in the Picture does not improve matters, the Picture of the XM2 is better than the XL1.

Now the first experiment the material on Adobe Premiere CS4 to capture and tell you again how the picture looks like. It should be easy and the picture should be synonymous look good.

What settings have you filmed?

Antwort von ksr:

The XM2 has an excellent quality (hab own one) - You make sure something wrong! I've viewed the pictures - looks as if there artifacts (excessive compression) it would be! How You Holst material from MiniDV tape to the PC? Already using Firewire (= lossless)? Is DV Pal program set in the host? If the resulting avi file 3.6 MB / s? That you should see everything with "yes" answer, or else what is not true ...
Describe times exactly your way!

Antwort von WWJD:

Hab synonymous one, am absolutely satisfied with the quality.
Must somehow s.den setup settings. or s.Benützer lie.

Antwort von Daigoro:

Where is'n as the focus? I see blurry pictures' in Nothing's' filmed.

Antwort von tommyb:

Are the 1:1 or did you crop the picture before it actually increases as a screenshot on Page came?

Please look at the camera directly s.den TV? (s.besten tube) and then examine the material times.

Antwort von Axel:

tommyb is right with the Television Test. Whether you incidentally with iMovie (here one can not accidentally with the wrong codec Capture), FCE or Adobe CS4 capturet is jacket like trousers. DV is DV.

Antwort von joke24:

So first thank you for your answers.

So I watch the moment in the frame mode.
16:9, TV 50 (sorry, no plan what that means exactly) and with the auto focus.

In Premiere I export with:
DV-PAL
25 frames per second
Highest quality
Interlaced
16:9

Import via FireWire

Have again a few test pictures in the appendix. These are screenshots, not large compressed original size.


Sorry, but the weather is just bad.

I have the camera today.

Which setting is filming her, or do you have a few test pictures?

I would be very grateful to you: =)

Space


Antwort von Axel:

If that is a "real" 25p frame mode, you have to be normal with FCE anamorphic DV Capture, but in the sequence settings in "Halbbildpräferenz"> "No" box. iMovie can not do that. I think, moreover, that the 16:9 scaled the XM2 is a quality which would explain a loss. Certainly I am not.

Antwort von joke24:

So in my XM2 I can select 16:9 in the menu.

I would at the moment work with Premiere.

How do I get for a good picture with this camera?
I think it's really a pity.
Since I can not imagine that it is so bad.

Any ideas?

Original Pal but has 576 lines.
The times are 720x541 and 733x551 one time - so original what?

Achso - screenshots.
It is synonymous with some programs' original 'single issue. Screenshots are protected by the postprocessing of the player almost always distorted and can access to 5 different players 5 times differ.

I do not still the focus - you either have the JPG totkomprimiert or you should not with 'infinite' focus somewhere in the pampas directed, but an object focus. The rooster looks like much better than the landscapes / meadows.

Do you have the instructions?

Studier the times, so you know what "TV 50" (shutter speed in manual mode) and "Frame Mode" are and how to use this delicacy - otherwise you do not need XM2 ...

Oh, hm - too long a shutter speed in manual Camera'fuehrung 'would wipe the washing synonymous explain. :)

Antwort von joke24:

Hehe, thanks for your compliments: P

No, in the worst times, I have just in the car mode, tried again.

The following is the outcome, which unfortunately I am still not satisfied.

Antwort von Jan:

Or, again to high aperture values.

Please low aperture values and turn gray!

So you get little Beugungsunschärfen and good contrasts.

Antwort von joke24:

So I did my time in TV viewing, there was actually not so bad, now, the weather is so synonymous in the moment is not optimal.

But then it must be something with the import are not right?

Can you give me your settings to send and how you imported?

Thank you very much

Antwort von beiti:

Regardless of any possible capture errors should be again clearly indicates that the XM2 for 16:9-recordings generally is unsuitable because it has a 4:3-chip resolution without reserves.

Also, the frame mode swallows visible resolution, because the chip is not really out progressively, but only from the fields a full-calculated.

Take the following test times: Locking the Camera live s.einen Television s.and great look at how the quality changed, if you select the different modes. You'll be amazed how good the quality of the XM2 looks like when you in the fashion field and 4:3 use - for this was because they were built.

Antwort von B.DeKid:

If I am a meadow with the XL H1 movies and the same setting with the XL1S filme both recordings are equally boring ;-)

I would


- No 16: 9 film, but then synonymous Guidelines can show

- Not the frame mode

- TV 50

PS: in the settings for sharpness values times check

Aah, this brings light into the matter, there will be equal to debug, thank you:)

Antwort von joke24:

So the times I've tried, well, the quality is much better, but the picture is quite verpixelt.
Now I have too high expectations?
Or is it better?

So it is zBstape? Have such a cheap JVC mini DV tape in it.

Antwort von ksr:

I may say: You should urgently look at the study. Digital is digital (; zeros and ones) - so basically any digital records equally well on tape, there's no more than differences in Dropoutverhalten and in the mechanical quality.
In addition, we have you not had a single Picture supplied by the original DV extent has (; 720x576), but only screenshots (which are scaled!), Against which an assessment is difficult. An exported Still image from the timeline is needed!

Trying times, really sharp pictures - in the wide area! - Take your time!

You hold one of the best MiniDV cams in my hands - believe me, that the images are not yet perfect, is not s.der Cam ...

Yes, okay, I think you well and happy:)
Is certainly my fault, but I have the device since exactly one day.
I will be with the young still have friends.

However, an acquaintance said that once I take a different tape, because the oxide layer and not the lead in cheap bands was not so good.

My screenshots are not scaled, but not exactly cut out;)

But I will for me to take the time:)

Now that the exams are over

Antwort von ksr:

Well, the pictures are already much better:)

Yet again, because there is still a misunderstanding of the issue:

That refers to the points I've mentioned - but does not direct Bilduqalität out! (When analog tape was so!)

Your pictures are some small (!), Then scaled (probably from the playback window, not of you!) And fall Wiedergabe-/Playerbilder always different, the next was so synonymous already explained above.
You should find a way (usually through the editing program), clips from your still images to be exported - these are then auto EXAKT the size of the video image and show ONLY this as nothing more ausgeschntten must be! (This is the simplest and best method - and not screenshots from the video cut!)

Viel Spaß noch!
