Hi David,
Thanks for responding to my post.
Since my last post i have ran a few more tests with my camera and it now seems that regardless of the the camera being in auto or manual, it is low light which seems to be causing the grainyness?
I’ve tryed the camera out with a variety of its settings, smooth grain off, smooth grain fast, auto mode, manual mode ect but as soon as the camera is taken anywhere dark the grainyness appears?
any ideas on how to solve this problem? thanks for you time
steve
