Cannon EOS 90D help/lens recommendation

technical questions/help
1

Hello all, I hope you are all doing well and staying glitchy. I am posting this to see if anyone could help me with rescanning my glitch art on my crt, I get these really crisp looking visuals but when I rescan it comes out muddier then expected. I’m very inexperienced when it comes to cameras, I’m using a Cannon EOS 90D with a wide frame lens. I’ve just been using the factory settings, only thing I changed is the frame rate so there is no black lines when filming the CRTs. I’m going to link some of the videos I have been working on recently. The ultimate end goal is to get a more clear rescan, I’m open to investing in a new lens or possibly even a new camera cause I’m a little unhappy with some of the rescans I do. Any help would be much appreciated I’m open to any suggestions in terms of settings or new cameras to buy.

Here’s a link to the visuals I’ve been working on recently:

hey, a couple of questions. a more zoomed-in lens such as 50mm (this would be a slightly telephoto lens for your cropped sensor) could help, but i’m wondering if other issues could be improved so you get a better result regardless of the lens. the main improvement a lens change could provide is letting more light in (if it has a larger aperture) and decreasing the optical distortion (fisheye effect)

  • what is the focal length (mm) of your current lens?
  • what resolution are you shooting at (1080p, 4k, etc)?
  • what format are the files coming out of your camera? are they already compressed such as .mp4?

some other tips are:

  • use manual focus, focus perfectly on the center of the screen and then VERY slightly de-focus the camera. this can help decrease moiré pattern issue
  • some slight post processing can help achieve richer darks and more vibrant colors

The focal point is 10-18mm, I’m shooting at 4k 29.97, and the files are mp4 files. Is there any recommendations of how to process the videos post filming them? I have another lens imma try today I believe it’s a 50mm. Thank you for your help imma try the manual focus today and see if that helps.
