Re: Panasonic G7 Video Noise

I shoot 4K with my G7 all the time and I have some advice that may seem contrary to you, but give it a try: in your picture profile (hopefully Standard with everything currently set to 0) turn the noise reduction all the way down to -5. Noise reduction works by smoothing out noise and that also means smoothing out detail. You'll actually get better quality video with NR all the way down. I did some A/B testing and the NR increased the visibility and size of macroblock compression artifacts, particularly if the footage was pushed in any way. I've achieved great results even at ISO 800 by doing this.
