Kevin,

When shooting indoors with available daylight, presumably from windows and skylights, at 24p and 180 degree shutter, make sure you have not engaged any neutral density on the filter wheel and additionally you can get an extra 2/3 of a stop by using "electronic daylight correction" instead of the daylight filters. This feature is accessed from the menu. See "Camera Settings" on page 1; use "Daylight" instead of "Tungsten". If still not enough, you may invoke some gain, but as we all know the Varicam is notoriously "noisy" so I usually limit gain to +3 or +6 in a pinch. Of course, daylight balanced lighting like HMI's or 5600 degree Kino Flos are made especially for this scenario.

Good luck,

JS
