I'm on my... er... 5th? feature with the Panasonic GH1 and I'm getting tired of the rolling shutter "jello-cam" and I'm getting tired of the artifacts which show up in low-light/low-contrast footage.

What's wrong with this sentence in a screenplay?
She leaps up and starts running at full speed down the corridor.
"Starts running..." No no no. Maybe she runs. Maybe she pushes herself into a full gallop. I don't care, but she doesn't starts running.
You absolutely must write what we see and make it as active as possible.
And under no circumstances will you ever write "They are locked in a life-or-death struggle" or I will put your name in the slug line of the scene with a note saying that you wrote that terrible "action".

Yeah, when you finish your screenplay, do yourself a favor and do a Search for "starts", and remove every one. It's a common problem, and one I still do.
