Thanks, take your point but....other cameras (Sony, Olympus) show up MUCH better.

Camera new at Christmas 2008. Takes fine photos, looks good on PC monitor. Looks terrible on TV screen through AV lead. Tried on different TVs, tried memory card on another S12 (courtesy of local dealer) but with same lead - looked terrible.(Camera not bought from there so didn't expect him to open new lead etc. Have checked settings - on Pal. Anyone else had similar problem? Only thing not tested is new AV lead. Can I get a non-Pentax lead to fit?
Cheers
