I was delivering a nice shot for iStock. Little did my untrained eyes know but there was noise.
I'm still pretty new to videography, but I exposed as high as possible, there was lots of sun, I think?

Here's a snapshot, notice the sky,

Scene 1, 1/50th shutter

It's actually been a few months since I took this, so I don't really remember the other settings.

Can you get a gauge at what I should do different in situations like these?
 
Black balance the camera, try adjusting the detail setting and raising the coring.

Basically as with any camera, set aside a few hours with a good preview monitor and adjust, adjust and adjust.

Learn what the camera can and can't do. Then decide on your settings for the best image you see.
 
For me, this is the most important step for a camera owner. This is the only way to get your look.

It would be worth it to ask around to use one at a studio on off hours or even rent one.

A properly adjusted HDTV would be better than nothing.

Once you get your settings they do not need to change that much.
 
Try the b.press gamma curve along with +2 on the coring. Don't go above +2 on the in-camera detail settings -- if sharpness is your goal then run an unsharp mask in post.

Keep your shutter speed as low as you can go. And, of course, make sure your gain is completely off.

The manual recommends a black balance every time you change recording modes.
