GH4 Low light picture profile settings.

[ejdge]

I was wondering what settings people have found so far for lowlight, with grade g in mind. Not expecting definitive answers since the gh4 is still so new but does anyone have any input on low light specific settings?

For example does a higher master pedestal cause more noise in the dark areas? Is there a difference whether the area in question well lit or not?

I have found Cinelike-D to be helpful in low light. Because it is the flattest of all the GH4 profiles, it preserves more detail in the shadows. I have found that, in images with lots of dark in the frame, you can shoot in Cinelike-D and get a good "as is" look. This is when setting Contrast to 0 and leaving highlight/shadow both at 0. Lowering the contrast or lifting the shadows adds noise.
