Re: Noise Issues w/Panasonic GH4...

I agree with the previous poster: stop shooting flat. Unfortunately, a lot of people think it is cool to shoot flat even though they may be complete newbies. In fact it takes a lot of skill to bring a flat image back to life. See what the camera can do at normal settings first. Just shoot using the standard profiles - you might be surprised how good the image is out of the box. Then make small changes as you see fit to adjust the picture to your taste. Whatever you do, the most important thing by far is exposure. If you have to brighten the video in post you will get noise and conversely if you over-expose you will not be able to recover the blown highlights.
