Why is the footage so grainy?

This shot is from a very dark warehouse, and yet, no grain.

This is close to noon outside, and it’s terribly grainy. ALLof my footage now is grainy, some shots more than others, but even very well lit ones have grain, especially in shadows and blacks.

The only thing I can think of that has changed since the warehouse shot is that I reset the camera to factory settings. The guy who had it before was shooting professionally and had his own scene file settings.

It’s all shot in CINE D (scene file F6), 720p 24p, shutter 1/24, light gain on LO,(actually, the warehouse shot was with gain set on HI, and still no grain!) with zebras set to 100% and irised down so only a few zebras are present here and there.

White and black balanced.

Thank you
