Thanks for your help on this Steve. It is one of those issues where I feel like I had tried everything else and it was the only other idea I could come up with. If you learn anything more about this particular topic, please let me know.

Based on your post, it sounds like I need to adjust my expectations on shots like that based on the cameras ability (or more likely, avoid them altogether.

I am really surprised you feel that way (did you watch it in fullscreen?). There is very little clean detail in the shot. I can see it when I look just about everywhere..especially up in the trees and in the grass. Admittedly this always comes about on a wide shot so is it possible that I am just dealing with normal camera limitations for a Gh2 and I have unreasonable expectations.

Thanks for the responses…I apologize as crackling appears to have been a distracting word to choose. Below I am including a link an example of what I talking about. I realized it isn’t the greatest composed shot that ever was, but it was a good example of what I have been dealing with. I have tried this with multiple lenses and have the same issue. That Voigtlander lens is an expensive piece of glass and I would stunned if it were the culprit. When outside I usually shoot around f/2 and always keep my iso down around 160-320. Hopefully the video clip will be more helpful.
