grainy screen in low light: How about yours?

I recieved my sd870 yesterday and I have the same LCD problem as you have. From people advice, I turn the mode from Auto to manual mode & ISO to 80-100. Then, all the grainy will gone away from your LCD screen. I am not sure why it's happened. I owned serveral DCs from Panasonic, Casio & Fuji, all of them don't have this issues (grainy) on their LCD screen under low light situation. I hope it is a common issue in Canon SD series, otheriwse, I have to return it.

It's not the best, most of the pictures come out grainy, or dark. Messing with the brightness changes the darkness of it, but the grainy look remains. Also be careful of when the disk space is about 50 mb, mine will not take pictures if it's less than that.

In my personal experience, it's a bit difficult to focus in lowlight situations. If it's as dark as a room with very dim lights, then I do not recommend this. In addition, I try to keep the ISO at a max of 1600. If I have to, I will go up to 3200. The noise/grain is noticeable around 3200, and it is a bit noticeable even at 1600.

Low light is terrible... Returning today. Sound capture is OK. I love Amazon

It has a setting called color night vision. In low light, the image is grainy. In total darkness, you will not get a picture. Hope this helps.

i own one and the screen is matte. i also take photos for architectural/real estate. best if you have monitor calibration tools, otherwise default color settings not that good for editing/processing. i also use my nikon tethered straight to laptop and works well. has built in sd card reader too. only downside is battery life. high performance settings will get you about 1.5hrs work time. power brick is literally a brick so not that portable. overall, very good and reliable machine. i won't replace this for a few years more even with the updated ROG models already out.

Have you tried any older systems to see if they look okay/have lag?Anyway, thanks for the info! I may have to go for this, although I'm a bit nervous not being able to return it if there are dead pixels or whatever.

I have been trying to do that same thing. Some scenes get messed up by the auto-exposure. A couple steps down in the settings you can change how bright or dark the picture is but that pesky auto-exposure is still active. Let's hope if they ever put up another firmware update that they include that functionality like when they added the timer function.

If you are using it indoors in low light, try the HD setting in the SCN mode. I did that and got a pretty good shot of an infant (no flash).

I think the screen images are fine - not grainy or noisy. In fact, I wasn't sure the screen protector was anti-glare until I compared it to my wife's phone's screen protector and then realized it does mute the glare, but not to the point of compromising the images....at least not to my eye.

I've noticed no such imdedance of clarity. The screen is as crisp as you could ask for. I love mine.

Watched and that is not exactly what I meant by low light since there were a few light sources. I meant if you are in your living room at night with a 40 watt light bulb in a lamp or even just a dimly lit area the fuzziness does occur and is grainy. Try taping something that comes from just the light coming from your television in your living room and you'll see what I mean. The lighting you had was the kind the camera is good at and I have used it like that before.

I think Justin's settings are fine and that the key is high contrast, low brightness and I keep my settings just around where Justin's are too. I have my color set down to around 31 and sharpness very low, energy setting at medium.There's several settings at the www.avsforum.com for this tv

It's running android 4.04 and the screen is the big problem for me, not high resolution like the Google nexus 7 and 10 which are the ones I use the most. The screen looks grainy to me but I'm old with old eyes.

No light. In low light settings the lack of a flash/light source the still photos are grainy.

Hi there. I haven't checked the quality of the video with low light, if that is what you are asking.

I didnt see much of distortion. It just crops a bit from top and bottom. U can even chose not to be on full screen.
