HI al
I think my problems all stemmed from the use of the autogain switch which seems to ramp the gain up past 20db and creates a lot of noise.

Hi again
The shutter was (Im pleased to say) set to off. Id have been very surprised if it was on as I already said I have little understanding of shutters.
Putting it on and scrolling through the options didnt give any addeed luminance on the viewfinder.

HI Matt
I have just wandered by your post as Ive been seeking advice about a camera here, but me real day job is pro audio!.
1) Can you post a bit
2) Id repost your question on the Audio professionals cow list, where you will find a lot of experience and people familiar with your kit etc.
You should add the
audio sample.
Where you are located and
what frequencies you have been using
what connections are on the camera etc etc.

Cheers
Peter
see you over there

HI again
Thanks for your info.
Yes the space was a little dim (although not significant) and yes the nx5 angle benefits from light helping it, but I do wonder why a camera of this cost suffers so badly.
Its almost like i have a setting in the worng place.
I dont really feel i should have to go to 720p to suit the camera. The camera is supposed to work for me!
Ill give a few changes a try but do feel that Im losing faith with it. I like its sizem feel, lens etc, but if it cant cut it!

HI Al
Thanks for the welcome. 1st time on this cow section but long time contributor on the Audio professionals one.

Im amazed that, my opinion combined with your comments about the canon xf305 lead me to belive that it is just truly pants in anything other than bright light conditions, – which is great but not reality.
Im trying to upload a grab from some pics recentlt shot with it but the cow upload function leaves a lot to be desired too!
The shot from front is the xf305 with all its graininess to see, and the shot from the back (same location different angle) is off a WAAAY cheaper Sony NX5 !! lookiing much better!

I am so surprised and un impressed.
Are there no settings i can be playing with like

“turn off six inches of grain” menu?

Afraid not.
The filter needed is to know when to stop for a break and a drink. His voice is just shot.
