Not happy with ZR850 video quality so far, please advise

by ellandry Oct 27, 2007 5:23AM PDT

I know about the camera needing help indoors but I am not happy with the outdoor quality on a sunny day either and I need to know if im doing anything wrong. The colors in the clip either look washed out or very over saturated. This is on all auto settings SP quality 4:3 This sample is DV AVI type I

Try the white balance and such.

For post processing try Sony Vegas. These color settings are far from automatic and may require you using the menus to tell the camera it's sunlight, indoors, etc.
