Use the lowest frequency clock you can get away with. I assume that the internal RC oscillator on the parts that have them are lower noise than a crystal. Anyone comapred this? .1uF ceramic and an electrolytic cap on the power input to the pic. Ceramic cap as close as possible. All circuit board traces as short as possible, especially crystal traces if used. Big ground plane. Power supply isolated from camera power supply. Pins on PCB cut as short as possible. Locate PIC in camera far away from low level svideo signals. PIC circuit in metal can with feedthru caps for real troublesome cases. Chances are that one or two of these will do the trick. Moving the PIC circuit somewhere else in the camera, grounding correctly and using caps will most likely cure the problem.
