I just recently purchased a used Panasonic G7. I am new to videography, and am trying to figure out what I am doing wrong.

I am trying to follow the 180 degree rule. With that said I am shooting 24fps 4k.

Aperture 3.5 on some of them. Or as high as possible. Shutter speed constant at 1/50 or 50 on the display screen. And as low an iso as possible. No matter the conditions, or the lighting I always seem to get a really high amount of noise. I am watching a lot of extreme low light vids on youtube with stock 14-42 lense etc, they say no noise reduction or anything in post and they all have remarkably crisp video. Mine is so noisy or grainy no matter what I do.

The noise is all over this one.

Here if you look at the ceiling it is so clearly noisy.

All though he mentions the GH5 there is some good general low light video shooting advice in this video. Also remember video still frames will always look worse than the moving video.
