Re: Noisy footage with EX3

Set the Gain to -3db. In Menus assign that to one of the 3 settings on switch.

Try using cinegamma 4 in picture profiles, turn down the detail in picture profiles try 20 0r 30. If light is very contrasty try cinegamma.

Make sure you expose correctly, maybe you were stopped down to much. Use zebra and histogram to do this. Don't trust the LCD. At the very least adjust LCD with bars to make sure you are not looking at an overly bright screen. External monitor that is calibrated really helps to learn how camera shoots.

Set shutter to 1/60 NTSC or 1/50 Pal or 1/48 24p. Or set to 180 degrees.

The lens works best at f2.8 but is ok from wide open to f5.6. Use ND dial or additional filters to achieve this.

The EX3 can give incredible good results, but like a lot of modern cameras you really need to spend time to set it up the way you like it and learn how to set it up for different conditions.
