I’m having a hard time buying what the Canon rep told you. I’ve tried shooting with my Canon Xl-H1 in HD to reduce or eliminate the aliasing problem, but to no avail whatsoever. The aliasing is still painfully noticeable.
I’m going to try lowering the sharpness setting to see if that helps. Also, as aliasing is a function of interlaced video, I’m also going to try shooting in 24F (records in progressive mode), though I suspect that won’t help much since during playback the signals are down-coverted to 60 fps interlaced. We’ll see what happens.
Any thoughts?
