Hello, i am new to the Pentax Forums.

After some days of not using my Pentax i wanted to shoot a video. I shot it, then viewed it on my computer. The footage turned out all grainy and pixelated. I shot several video's and i checked the settings, everything was on the highest. I dont understand what happened. I even formated my camera but i see no difference at all. My pentax used to shoot awesome, top quality photos but now it looks bad. Here is an example of how it shoots now:

If you click on the youtube video, you see the problem much easier. Also i clearly had my settings at 1280x720 and 0,9 m and 3 star on the quality level.

The video looks nothing wrong to me....

If you click on the actual video, and watch it in full screen 480p

The reason 480p looks so bad full screen is because screen resolutions these days are pretty high. (like 1920 x 1080) 480p means that the resolution on the short side is only 480 pixels....
now compare that to 1080 pixels, and you can see we've got a problem. Also, youtube compresses the quality down a bit... I watched it in 720p, it has some noise, but I guess that's just a gain issue....The quality seems just fine to me personally...
