New P3S Pilot, Video Question

[PogiBoy]

So I just got a used P3S for $280 from Craiglist. I think i got a good deal because of all the extras it came with. I was thinking of buying the Spark but I think I should start with the P3S first.

The P3S flys great, all batteries still have 100% life, gimbal is smooth, the video is perfect but i am seeing i guess its called artifacts. I get it when the camera is close or direct to the sun light and when gimbal goes up and down. I also get a quick wave distortion when I turn.

Any solution to prevent artifacts? The guy that sold it to me said the P3S didnt have issues or it has been crashed. I hope this wasnt the issue of the P3S thats why he sold it so low. Attached is my used P3S after cleaning it and taking off the stickers.

Artifacts ? thought that was items found by Archeologists ?

Any video or other to show example so people like me know what you are talking about ?

Googling this gives me :

Common Video Compression Artifacts to Watch Out For

Seems its Software or Hardware related ...

I have to say that occasionally I have noticed signal breakup during flight on display and a few times in video recordings. But its only occasional and I shrug it off usually.
