GAIN is good in HVX
i know that we want to stay away from that gain button unless necessary. i actually had to use it for a shoot as my on-camera light suddenly died and was still rolling. i punched up the gain to 9db and finished the shoot. I was so worried about a grainy image, but it actually looked good. infact, my client thanked me for an excellent production and never mentioned anything about “noisy” footage.
the HVX rocks

Hmmm, you must have gotten a special version of the camera, or have a very bad monitor 😉
What level were you getting on average? Were the blacks crushed ?
Anything under 30 IREs with Mid gain gets really grainy for us…

i didnt check the footage on a broadcast monitor. The client only played it through his home television and enjoyed it. Havent heard anything bad so far (its been three months).
I think the scene settings helped a little since the blacks were
milky, the gain wasnt too obvious (vs rich blacks)
