Hi all
I just started editing some footage I did in early summer, mainly of fleids and crops and fine textures  of that sort.
I was really shocked at how much artefacts the S2 produces on fine textures like the wheat , tree leaves etc. It's practically unusable! It's too bad one cannot upload footage here.
It looks like all the pixels are oversharpened and sizzle , or move around like weird digital grain., and the codec can't deal with such fine texture information. All is in 4k at max resolution, and it's visible both in the D cine log with a LUT and the normal setting. It reminds me of the same issue I had on my pocket 2 before switching back to battery instead of HQ mode.
On top of that, the banding in some of the sky and clouds is unacceptable.
Is there any solution around?
Thanks!

So, did you see the video?  The firmware was already updated.

I still haven't gotten any response on this. Many of the clips have such banding and artifacts that they are unusable and unsellable. I find this unacceptable.
Please, tech support,  have a look at the clips.
is there any technical solution to this?

I am viewing this on a PC with VLCPlayer and I don't see the issues you are talking about.
