HPX500 scene settings once again - how to reduce noise?

[Tomas Riuka]

Ok, i''m coming back to the scene settings, lately i've been using 25f scene
settings from BBC website which someone showed some time ago, but
in the shadow areas there is a lot of noise.

i know, 500 is noisy, but just explore the world of scenes, what settings are you
guys shooting with?

To me, the HD Norm has the best noise characteristics.

The Cine modes have a nice look, but they induce noise in the image.

Heres a link to some settings by Hunter Richards. I use this same setup now, there still a little noise there but its a hell of a lot better than the first settings I had.

try lowering the chroma level to -7 that is purported to help...

Which one is the best in the noise department?

well, it depends on what you're looking for, all looks are diffeent, but now i just choose
more by the style, not by lower noise.
