New camera!!
by deeppzz - 10/24/09 10:55 AMI've bought a new camera Nikon Coolpix L100.
How do i capture the moon at its closest?
Also i tried capturing in the auto mode. But it was unable to focus.
It got focused 2-3 times.
Also how do i capture the farthest objects very clearly using the full zoom?
might not be the focusing
by kalel33 - 10/24/09 12:27 PM In reply to: New camera!! by deeppzzAre you using a tripod when shooting the moon? If not then I bet the problem is with too low of a shutter speed to be held. At full zoom you are at 420mm, that means that you would want a speed of at least 1/420th sec. Now image stabilization helps and you might be able to get a 1/100th sec when using image stabilization.
tripod

Here was one person's suggestions

Thanks!!
by deeppzz - 10/29/09 10:29 AM In reply to: Here was one person's suggestions by kalel33I could see some of them taking shots of the moon such a way that the craters were visible.
HD!!
by deeppzz - 11/2/09 9:34 AM In reply to: Thanks!! by deeppzzHi guys!!
Can i convert the videos taken from the L100 to HD? If yes can you please provide me the instructions to convert along with the link?
Also is it possible to convert the still pictures to HD quality images?
Please provide me the link to download the suitable conversion software!!
Thank you!!!!
possible answers
by kalel33 - 11/2/09 9:47 AM In reply to: HD!! by deeppzzYou can upconvert, but it's not as good as native HD. Here's a link that talks about it and different options.

The question of photos in HD is simple...photos are much higher in resolution than any HD signal. An HD screen is about the the equivalent to a 1 megapixel photo. So, if you convert a photo to HD then you are dropping the resolution substantially.
Reseting file numbers!!
by deeppzz - 11/4/09 7:43 AM In reply to: possible answers by kalel33How do i reset the file numbers in Nikon Coolpix L100? I could find the reset option in the menu settings. But it could help me out only in resetting to the default values!!
Also could you send me the link for the software to convert the videos from avi to HD?
thank you 
sd to hd
by kalel33 - 11/4/09 9:18 AM In reply to: Reseting file numbers!! by deeppzzThere are a number of software products that can change SD to HD. You can't change AVI to HD because AVI is a container format that has nothing to do with resolution. You can have AVI videos that are HD and SD. Here is a list from Cnet's download area.

Very little
by kalel33 - 11/5/09 8:06 AM In reply to: Clarity by deeppzzYou're not adding any new information so the image will be more like SD quality than HD quality. It's the same as upconverting DVD players, they give the image a tweak but it's nowhere near true HD. But you're not converting from AVI to HD, you'd be converting AVI-SD to AVI-HD.
Result!!
by deeppzz - 11/5/09 9:39 AM In reply to: Very little by kalel33So there will be no changes in the clarity from avi-sd to avi-hd even though i convert them.
Actually i love to see the videos in HD. But this camera doesn't support HD recording.
Any other alternatives?
I guess I can't explain it well enough
by kalel33 - 11/5/09 10:25 AM In reply to: Result!! by deeppzzIt'll give it a little bit better look, but it won't look as good as if you shot a video in HD. When you shoot non-HD and then upconvert to HD it won't be the same. There's not as much detail being captured in the non-HD as the HD, so it will just guess. Some software do it better than others. There was one software that I found by searching called Red Giant that people liked, but it costs $99.
The other thing you have to think about is that not all HD recorded videos look the same. It depends on the compression, format, and sensor of the camera. For example, a 12MP point and shoot does not have the same quality of a 12MP DSLR.
HD quality
by hjfok - 11/5/09 10:59 AM In reply to: Result!! by deeppzzAgree with above. You have to have realistic expectations. PS compacts generally have low SD quality video. A SD camcorder will do a much better job than a PS compact. You really cannot expect to upconvert these low quality PS compact SD video clips and transform them into blueray cinematic true HD quality video (you will need a HD camcorder for high quality HD video). Using software or DVD upconversion will make watching these SD video clips on HDTV more tolerable, because otherwise they just look horrible.
