Less is more

Apparently, if I shoot video on my cell phone at Medium quality the resultant image looks better that if I shoot at High quality.  At High quality there is a larger screen image to refresh.  Also, the software automatically reevaluates the focus and exposure with more diligence.  Both of these "features" cause the High quality image to have more abrupt changes in the character of the picture than if I just shoot at Medium quality.

At Medium quality the image is a little smaller, but updates faster and the software doesn't recheck focus and exposure as frequently.  The result is a more pleasing video image to watch.

So, setting the camera at a lower specification of "Quality" results in a picture with greater quality.
