tvstaf, i am not sure if setting 1,2,3 will help in reducing noise in this case. i usually take static pictures of birds and some times i see noise in some shots and sometimes not. i still don't know what setting causes this noise. this has always been a puzzle to me. you can't relate this to focusing. please let me know when you find out you may want to use noise ninja if that can help any but using noise ninja can present its own issues! i am totally frustrated myself.

cheerz.

Hi Rebel,

Noise is an issue when I crop too much and needless to say shadows and black in heavy back-lit objects can have real banding issue.

Fo me it's just trying stay in focus with people going over the water at 50MPH then they jump and excelerate to 60 or 70 twisting and turning with heavy water splash thet fools the camera's focus system.

This is why CASE 2 on the 1DX seems good as it stays on the subject even when an object gets into view but NOTHING is perfect.

I posted this shot before but it's a classic example of Focus, then editing to get blemishies on a model's face, using lum, clarity and spot removal while trying not ruin the continuity.  I think I'll try noise Ninja.   Thanks for the suggestion!

Perhaps noise Ninja will help on some of the noise here.  This was shot using IS on setting one but sports is a different game.  I WISH my sports shots all came out close to this....  ONLY in a perfect world!
