I bought a cheap camcorder, its ok if I pan slowly or the subject moves slowly, but if there is action or I pan fast, then the video or subject (my cat) is blurred. I want crisp clear images whether its video or a still image from the video. what causes the blur? is it the type of digital media , memory stick, film, aperture? I am on a budget but I want to make sure the next thing I buy wont take blurry images when there is fast action. thank you
anyone new to something can't know it all, without asking questions. but anyway, I have seen stills taken from action shots and there is no blur, that's what I want, that effect.

"I want crisp clear images whether its video or a still image from the video."
Not gonna happen. Video is filmed with a 180 degree shutter principal. So half the time the film is being exposed. If you are shooting at 24fps that means that your effective shutter speed is about 1/48 of a second. at 29.9fps you are technically using a shutter speed of 1/60th of a second ... neither one of these shutter speeds are of any use for fast movement.
In video, it's not a big deal because the human brain is good at stitching moving images together so the blurriness is disappears as our brain processes the info but take a still from that and you have a blurry mess.
Taking still from a video is in no way, shape or form a good way to replace proper still photography. On top of the inherent problem with shutter speed (consider that if I am using a flash, I can still achieve a shutter speed of 1/200th and if I'm using the sun or powerfull hotlights, I can shoot a still at 1/4000th of a second), you have a problem whereas still from an HD video (1080p) is only equivalent to a 2MP shot.
1080X1920 = 2073600 / 1000000 = 2.07MP
"I have seen stills taken from action shots and there is no blur, that's what I want, that effect."
Do you have examples? Because I'm telling you, not gonna happen, especially not with low end consumer gear.

What does 2000 mAh en referring to a camcorder battery?

Looking to buy a battery for my older Panasonic VHS-C camcorder. What does the mah refer to?
Thanks
Answer
mAh stands for "milli ampere hours", it is basically a measure of how long the battery can run before it needs to be charged again.
For example if you had a 4000 mAh battery it would last twice as long.
You can use any size mAh battery as a replacement in your camcorder.
