Hi, I`m currently testshooting with the M2 zoom in D-cinelike and some ND filters. I notice that no matter what setting im recording in I get allot of noise in shadows/dark spots. I always use the histogram to set the right exposure. See the the testfootage in the link below.

First clip settings:
- Manual
- ND16PL filter
- ISO 100
- Shutter 1/60
- D-cinelike
- Style: +1, 0, 0
- 4k30
- H.265
- WB Sunny


Second clip settings:
- Manual
- ND8PL filter
- ISO 100
- Shutter 1/60
- D-cinelike
- Style: +1, 0, 0
- 4k30
- H.265
- WB Sunny



Third clip:
- Manual
- No filter
- ISO 100 - 800??
- Shutter 1/60
- Color: Normal
- 4k30
- H.265
- WB Sunny



Both clips have allot of noise on the rooftops. With the ND8 filter it is overexposed and still i get the noise. I have also included an older video I recorded with the M2 zoom but I don`t know the exact settings on the footage. The third one has no noise in it and it looks very good to me. All clips are not graded and straight from the drone itself. Does anyone know whats causing the noise and how I can improve or get rid of it in future flights? I also tested with normal and D-cinelike but for some reason I can`t recreate the quality of the third clip.

Can you show examples?

I looked at your footage, and you are asking a lot from the cameras dynamic range filming into the sun like that.
But with D cine like, if you put it into a video editor and up the contrast (using a histogram to not blow it out) it looks pretty awesome! the shadows become a lot better.

Thanks for the tip, but the sun isn`t the problem. The noise always appears when shooting in D-cinelike. I`ve another clip included with no direct sunlight. If you look on the left site in the shadow you can see the noise or snowy effect in the clip. I want to know what is causing it.

Settings:
- Manual
- ND 16
- ISO 100
- Shutter 1/60
- Color: D-Cinelike
- 4k30
- H.265
- WB Sunny

You are aware that D-Cinelike is a profile that needs post processing?

Yes I do. The last clip I shared is colour graded. Only thing I am not sure about is that you need to apply noise reduction on it?

Sorry my english ist nötig so Gold. I User Mavic 2 Zoom and DJI Smart Controller. Where I install SD Card. Copter or Smartcontroller
