My aunt gave me an old camera she never used but this camera is around 30 years old. It's an official movie camera it's 'panasonic s-vhs movie camera nv-ms5' you can easily find a booklet online but my issue is that i really want to put this camera to use. The problem i have with it is that it seems to record at a 480i resolution, and i have to use 's-vhs' tapes to record videos and s-vhs only happen to record 480i res tapes or so i think. Is there a way to increase/enhance the resolution properly? If i'm correct, films like Godfather used this camera or something very similar, how did they make the footage high resolution? It would help a ton to know this. I love making movies and i'd love to be able to film at a high resolution.

1. You can't
2. A Panasonic s-vhs camcorder was never used in filming a major movie.
They had an entire truckload of equipment, such as this:

Oh... sorry im still confused... Because a lot of films were released in vhs then were 'remastered' in hd... That's what has me believing i can make this camera film at a better res. This camera i have it's footage does actually look like an old tv show so i'm assuming this type of camera was only used in those cases.
