I found (i believe) the main problem to my noise problem with the F900. Cleaning the connectors and ribbon cables on the monitor out did help but just for shits and giggles i also adjusted the gain amplifiers on the CCD block which is something i was taught while at VER in Chicago and it got rid of the noise completely. There is still some noise lingering in underexposed areas which im feeling is just a byproduct of the cameras technology but -3db exposed properly finally looks like -3db gain. If i am wrong on the noise in the underexposed or shadow areas let me know and i will do further tests, but, it seems this is the best im going to get the camera and the images in the exposed areas are beautiful!!!!!!!
