HVX200 Underwater footage very noisy & soft

[Pete L]

I have been shooting some underwater footage from my hvx200 in a gates housing & i am getting so much noise in the footage it is quite frustrating at times.
So i have put a little video together of a dive on new years day with a few friends & you can see the images are not terribly good.
Lots of noise, especially in the water column & of course the blacks.
Is anybody using this camera underwater?
Can anybody help me with some settings to reduce the noise somewhat & get a cleaner/richer image out of this thing please?
Cheers Pete.

My settings are;

HVX is noisy regardless, no doubt about that...really needs a lot of light to look its best. I think these images actually look pretty nice though.

Thanks Justin, i am going to try stefanhuberfilms settings & see how that works.
Hopefully it will be an improvement over what i am currently acheiving.
Thanks for the kind words though.
Cheers Pete.
