I just purchased a used HMC150 with just 75 hours. It appears to be in great shape, however so far the test footage I've shot looks rather grainy. I've been shooting at 1080/30p and 1080/60i but it still dosn't look as good as I thought it should.
Are there any other settings I should check that might affect the amount of "grain" I'm seeing?
Make sure you white balance and black balance and try a "hard reset".
The HMC Book comments on the effect of every control on noise: gain, gamma curve, color matrix, master PED, detail level/vertical detail/detail coring, DRS...
