AF101E Video Noise on Black parts of the image - looks like snow

Hmm, let me try redownloading. Maybe it got corrupted.

Edit: Yep, that was it, now I can view the file in PS, must have timed out or something and didn't tell me.

That also explains why Cine-V is cleaner looking, the lower knee is much more pushed down then any of the other presets. compressing the detail in the lower end.

Can you make your own curve?

I just did another test in ISO640 and detail at 0. Looked pretty clean and fully acceptable. A bit of very smooth noise but it really only gave the image some life.

Editman, thanks for your tests. My cam comes Wednesday and I'm dialing in your settings from the get-go as my starting point on things. I don't have the patience for charts and what-not, so I'm glad that there are those that do and can offer up their findings. All I can offer up is, well, a beer if you're in the Boston area.

What version of PS is that for? In CS5 it wouldn't read it, said it was not compatible.
