Grainy picture sometimes: Does anyone else observe this?

Your right on the money!! Mine does the same thing and I hate it. I was also watching the NBA playoffs and noticed and then it happend when a commercial was on and now I notice it all the time. My 27 1080i LCDTV Olevia has way better quality in HD and SD. I was using HDMI then switched back to component cables. One thing that did help me though is that I turned off all the special settings like the enhancements and black levels to get a true picture, because the manufacture hikes up the settings to make the TV look better on display at the store than in your house which will look a lot different.

At 3200 and higher iso I belive it has some banding issues. I didn't go that high very often, so I never noticed it myself.

I have had no problems with picture quality. I would suggest rechecking all of the connections, but I am sure you did that already. Sorry; I am the original electronic idiot!

Well your half way there. Try another of the settings like Game view or another. It should improve. At first I didn't like the picture so I kept trying different view settings until one was real clear. Good luck.

No, I use it through my computer and the picture looks over granulated. Other sources for 1080 and 720 hd works though =\

I didn't have this problem. I bought it to see if it was as good as Wen. It's not as moisturizing, but not grainy.

I'm thinking it might be related to the dark corner issue. I noticed more than one reviewer complained about this and there are photos posted up in the customer photo section illustrating this issue. I was going to purchase this camera myself until I saw this potential problem. For example:http://www.amazon.com/review/R1HXQU9INW3I2T/ref=cm_aya_cmt?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B005TGKX9S#wasThisHelpful

Not that I can see. My pictures are the way they appear on the drive. I have had some problems with orientation, but I think I found the trouble...operator error. Some of the pictures because they are in portrait end up being small. But, I am no genius with this stuff. In any case we like the frame and would buy another.

Grain/noise is native to plasmas, Panasonics especially it seems. I changed my tv and blu ray player setting to 24p for watching blu rays and like the improved picture. Give it a try and see how you like it.

Try with and without the image stabilization to see if that makes a difference. Also try at lower resolution. I just did "Fast 720P" with a clear picture, I also had record when moving so it only never recorded more that 5 min at a time. I have not noticed that problem yet, but I have notice jumps(screen goes blank?). Could be the card. Make sure it is a class 10 card. I just upgraded to 64gig SanDisk Extreme and will see if it makes a difference.

I just set up this DVD player tonight using an HDMI cable and the picture on my 52" HDTV was also quite grainy. I changed the setting on the dvd player from 1080p (auto) to 480 and that works much better. For now I'll keep this setting until I can figure out why the HDMI setting isn't working.(Update in a new post dated 12/27/08)

The camera gives you the option to use a higher ISO setting. Try using a higher ISO for moving subjects. Keep in mind the higher number may result in a grainy picture if the light is too low.

I agree. also heard that if you scan your pics face to the back, it doesn't not reflect the glare as much. Has anyone hear this one?

In low light, noise and motion artifacts are tradeoffs. Are you getting noise because you've set the ISO "too high"? You might try multiple shots of the same image with different speed / ISO settings. Drop the ISO until motion artifacts become unacceptable. It's a subjective game. But the point of expensive equipment like this is that you should be able to get a good image with less of both noise and motion artifact.

Don't know if there's a fix(?). Mine has a very clear picture,better than most I've seen.

It's not the best, most of the pictures come out grainy, or dark. Messing with the brightness changes the darkness of it, but the grainy look remains. Also be careful of when the disk space is about 50 mb, mine will not take pictures if it's less than that.
