  Noisy footage cause of heated censor? Is this possible?

  Hello there,

  I have a Panasonic Lumix G7 and i just bought the Atomos Ninja Flame. Yesterday i made some test shots and they came out very noisy,..see picture

  Anybody got an idea why this could be? Or send me in the direction where i need to search to solve the problem?

  The G7 had following settings:

  ISO 640, aperture 3.5, shutter 50, white balance set manually , Picture style: Natural
  Contrast: -5
  Sharpness: 0
  Noise reduction: 0
  Saturation -5
  camera was set to 4K uhd .mp4 – 25fps 100mbs

  The Atomos was set to Prores 422

  Is there anybody who was had something like this? I can’t really think that so much noise comes from a ISO from 640?

  Maybe my censor from the camera became to hot (i read online that this can also cause noise)

  And there is a good change that my camera was to hot cause it was sitting exactly under the main lamp (800watt) which lights the front of the character. Today i am going to make the same shot with a cold camera and see if that was the problem.

  Meanwhile i hope somebody on the forum can lead me in the right direction to solve the problem.

  Thanx in front

  greetz Lenny
