People or objects have a slight edge or outline. ((Perry MItchell wrote a review when the camera first came out saying, "The pictures (from the DV500 didn't have) any trace of the edginess that often mars cheaper cameras." )) I am a big fan of this camera and I don't have anything like Perry's technical knowledge, but to my eye the image could use some adjusting. (Perry's camera had a better lens, the Fuji 17x, but I'm not sure that is the difference.) Would lowering the detail setting smooth the images? Is there some other steps I should take?< I quite agree with you Ron, as standard the DV500 has a larger than life look. I understand it is designed to appeal particularly to Wedding Videographers straight out of the box (with subsequent dubbing to VHS). The important point is that because the processing is clean it is easy to correct this 'look'. I found that turning the 'Sharpness' to the highest frequency (of 3) and setting the level down a little produced better results to my eyes. I also preferred it with the 'Color Matrix' turned off. These settings are in the menus. In another published Review, I showed it was possible to closely match the pictures from the GY-DV500 to the respected Sony DSR-300, so I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Which "level" are you talking about lowering?< Sorry, lazy engineer's talk. I should have said 'Detail' frequency and I meant of course the "level" of the 'Detail Adjustment'. In UK "level" is a term meaning 'control setting'. In Japan they use the term "volume".
