Help: Sony DCR-HC18E

Hi

First post on here so hello to all.....


I have just got the above camcorder and the picture quality is slightly grainey, I have tested it on all settings ie Indoor, outdoor and Auto all settings seem to give the same result.

Also the audio on playback is quite hard to hear! Is this normal I ordered this from an online shop and only have to Tuesday to send it back to them if I am not happy.

Any advice, tips would be much appreciated
