I have what looks like a heat haze on my Bittern shot!

Hi all

I have a shot of Bittern that I have been trying unsuccessfully sort out from the weekend.

I was zoomed right out to get her rounding the curve and approaching Doniford, but it looks like a shimmering heat haze, although it wasn't!

Any ideas from them that know, of how this might have happenend and what if anything I can do with it to improve the situation. It looks the same on the camcorder!

Thanks for taking a look. Perhaps camcorder just not used to the heat! lol

With my Camcorder you can recalibrate them and reset the settings as after time they tend to do their own thing. I have a JVC Camcorder and it states this in the manual.... Just a thought?

 

I'll take a look at that before the weekend! Ta.

By the way what make and model is it you have got? Mine is a JVC Everio 20GB one. Model is GZ-MG21EK just incase....?

 

Mine is a Sony DCR-SR72 60Gb hard drive.

Do you have a link to the manual and i will have a look and send you the details on what you should look for?

 

It just so happens I do!

i found it easier to download via this link as the link for whatever you sent me wasn't very helpful. http://www.sony.co.uk/product/sdh-hard- ... ype=manual
I will have a look through the manual and see what I can find out and any points that might be worth trying....

A question how are you taking the movies? What format 16:9 or 4:3? I'm thinking if you use Wide Select it might not be hazy as such.... Unfortunately you're Cancorder soesn't appear to have an option that mine has to recalibrate it - This is the link to mine if you download the manual for GZ MG21EK which is about a third down the page. Hopefully you may see where I am coming from. But have a look at the settings above and if you can come back to me - We can try and take it from there as I have downloaded the manual for your's and saved it....

Cheers

Cheers Andy.

Sorry I forgot to send you the link for the manual for my Camcorder... http://www.jvc.co.uk/download.php?type=2

It might give you an idea to what I meant....

Cheers

I actually shot those in 16:9, but converted them in Pinnacle to 4:3.

There is a reset option. I presume that this will take all camcorder settings back to factory install. Is that what you meant by recalibrating? If so thats no problem.

As I said my Camcorder allows me to reset the camcorder up/ has a calibration mode - Without doing a full reset.

I have gone through the manual for your's with a fine tooth comb and I can't see anything like mine except a full reset. It can't do any harm can it in doing a full reset? That way you just need to reset it up again to get the quality that you want...

Cheers
