Grain/Noise reduction on 7D

[Vinnie Urgo]

Check your internal settings perhaps you can lower it by adjusting picture styles? I know the 7d has that issue and shows much more grain then the 5d. It’ has the same sensor as my 550D and mine has issues but is insanely better than my HVX200.

If you keep it below 1000, you shouldn’t see any issues. What other settings are you using? What lens? Night shooting or daytime?

I shoot with the 7D all the time, sometimes up to 2000 ISO. I only see noise above 1000. I use 1.4 – 2.8 lens for night time shooting, usually with some lighting, depending on the shoot.

Hi..

I have no grain/noise issues at or below 1000 ISO, even a tad higher. Just curious, what conditions were you shooting in, what were the rest of your setting, and what lens were you shooting with? OH, did you notice this before or after transcoding, and what are you using to transcode your footage.

Best Regards!

I am shooting during the day with a good mount of light. The lens is a canon efs 18-200mm.

I am noticing it before transcoding.

Clean your sensor & lens. Also try another lens using the same settings. Just in case it’s a lens issue. There shouldn’t be any noise at that level.
