Shooting to a Non-Sufficent SD Card

I've gone and lost my main SD card recently and have been shooting with a secondary one that usually sits in another camera, it's not a Class 10 and is probably not ideal for my FS100, and I've only really just noticed that my footage isn't really as good quality as what it normally is. Could this be effected by the SD card change?

Thanks, Liam
 
Did you accidentally change the bit rate settings in camera? Card speed should only affect write speed as far as I know.
 
Liam define good as normal. Jittery? Dropping frames? Please elaborate
a bit so we can get a bit of understanding to the problem.

In all of my experiences if a card is not up to the task it will fill the buffer and
then quit. I haven't had these issues with anything other than a buddies 7D
with a cheap CF card. It will fill up the buffer, camera couldn't write the data
quick enough to empty that buffer -- due to card speed.

I would definitely check your camera settings. Anything out of the ordinary
should be down to a setting change. Again in my experience quality won't
change when writing data to cards, it's more of a there is data written
or it's not sort of deal.
 
Thats my experience as well. I have not seen it on the FS100, but in the past, I had a slow card on a T2i and when it got to be too slow it would just skip or stop recording.
 
I'll have to look over my setting's to see if anything else has changed, it was mostly a quality thing so that may be down to in-camera settings, I do know though that some of the clips I captured on this card seem faulty, they just stop working completely and I have to re-convert the .mts files again.
 
Do the MTS files have any issues with playback? Are you converting
the original files for use in a NLE and having issues with just the
converted videos?

Highly recommend checking the native files from the card to ensure
there are no issues with the direct media instead of the transcoded
media.
