Capture video without grain on low light
Hey guys!!
How do I control low light of my Sony HDR-FX7 without getting any grain?
How do I know when to stop raising or lowering my exposure? Or do I need to change my iris instead my of changing my exposure?Because I cannot see if there’s any grain on my video using the monitor of my camera.
Someone enlighten me!
thank you!

If you want no grain, shut off any thing that boosts or gains the overall brightness.
I wouldn’t recommend auto-aperture, but you have to be experienced to know when to use which aperture, so you don’t over- or underexpose the image (that’s where the grain comes from).
Are you shooting documentary or scenary?
If scenary, I’d say rent a control monitor to check the image before shooting or run some test in different light situation to see which aperture gets you the best result.
If there is a minimal grain left, you can degrain it a bit in After Effects with the degrainer from Sapphire. -
You need to turn the gain down to 0db.
