Low Light Custom Preset

[antwonmerriweather]

I am shooting a dark hallway with interspersed windows showing hard light (fluorescent), looking for a custom preset the that will cut down on noise/give me more pure black.

Thank You

Grainy footage?

Generally speaking though, turn noise reduction (NR) to "low" and turn AGC off. Also set the gain to -3.

Thank You Tom, I shall try this.

I just realised a gain of -3 is best for reducing noise in better-lit low-light situations (if that makes any sense! So basically, having richer blacks).

You may still need to use a gain of 3, 6 and 12 if you cannot see anything!
