Hello, guys! I've just got my EX-1 delivered two days ago and was so happy I recieved it. But I just came across following problem... When I shoot in 1080/50 I have some kind of distortion(see the picture below) and it's very upsetting me...:cry: In 720/24 mode picture is fine, only in 1080/50 it is distorted. Anyone know why is that? Maybe i do something wrong? Please help...maybe something to do with settings?

Wow...
Does that look like that viewing the LCD or monitor during recording?
Did you shoot interlace?

If not, I'd be looking into a replacement camera now.
 
Yeah, I shot in 1080/50i. I notice it when I view my shot clips on Clip Browser... Sorry, i'm very beginner in videocameras, maybe i just don't understand something? Please explain...
 
Even if he is shooting interlaced, that's really bad. I often shoot interlaced, and it's never looked like that.
 
Also,
Your image is 724x559 rez.. Very close to SD ratio.
Why did you crop the image to SD?
The EX1 does not shoot SD.

Flip it over and look to see if it has a tag reading PMW-EX1 ;)
 
Thank you for your replies! I really appreciate it! i bought my EX-1 from Proav.co.uk...just two days ago... 1080 25p progressive looks ok, no such distortion. The other thing i noticed right now is when i play my clips inside the camera(media mode) all the clips look ok. Could it be because of my computer tft monitor(it's not 16:9)?

The image in being scaled to fit on your screen and it is interlaced.

Shoot some progressive (1080 24p HQ) and I'm sure you wont have the "problem"

Or, export a frame - don't do a screen dump.

There is no 1080 50p on the EX1 (max is 30p), so if you want progressive at that speed, use 720.
 
I believe the player you are using is not deinterlacing properly. There should be a setting somewhere on the player to specify when and how to deinterlace.

Are these from a stand alone player or your NLE?
 
Download the free VideLan http://www.videolan.org/

Under the Video menu item select deinterlace>Blend.
Under video menu item you can also select snapshot for a frame grab.

There's nothing wrong with your camera, you're just looking at an interlaced frame.

Or just shoot in progressive 1080p!
Better image quality
more film-like
no deinterlacing needed
