What causes these lines in my video ?

[BabaBooey]

O.K. I was trying out my camera's video capability @ 720P and during the playback I saw the lines in the pic below that flashed for a split second and a second before that one line popped up for same amount of time ?


Camera = Canon SD780is

SDHC card = sandisk extreme III 8GB


My thought was the card is not fast enough for HD video ?

Vertical purple lines denote glare (notice how they are always intersecting the areas with blown out highlights). This is normal for a camera, and can be fixed with a lens hood or perhaps UV filter.

Ah, the joys of a CCD sensor. This is normal. Just be glad you don't get the jello effect like the cameras with the CMOS chip have! :awe:

Shield the lens with your hand to prevent glare when shooting in bright sun. Or get a lens hood if one is available for your camera. UV filers usually won't help with glare and will often exaggerate any detrimental effects (extra piece of glass in front of the lens).

Ah,cool then...:awe:

I can work with that,I was fearing a faulty camera or not enough speed on the SDHC...well great I love this little baby for every day stuff.

Thanks again guys...()

There's no way that a lens hood would reduce the flare in that photo. All of the sources are within the frame: the bright reflections off the cars. Look at the lines: each one ties in to a super-bright reflection off a car.

Take the picture at a different time of day when the sun is not overhead or in front of the camera. Too bad you can't attach a polarizer.

It's just CCD being CCD.
