Nataw, if you have found a solution to your grain problems I would like some guidance if possible! I recently bought an a6500 with the 18-105mm lens. I am having SERIOUS issues with grain and cant figure out what is causing it. I have been shooting in Cine4 and have issues as soon as i bring my footage into premiere and it only gets worse with color correction, particularly with my 120fps footage. I am following the shutter rule, ISO is low, im shooting in bright sunlight with an expensive tiffen ND filter so exposure and gear quality should not be the issue. Please help if you have any ideas of what could be causing my problems. Thank you!

Hi guys!

After using 6500 for quite awhile now & doing multiple shoots with it.. All I can say that 6500 is poor when you're shooting indoor (without any help of any professional lighting) but works best with natural lighting.. so shooting with 6500 indoor would be a challenge. I ditched using any profile pictures settings and use creative style settings to neutral, and I think it works just fine. Most professional videographers I know in wedding industry mostly uses creative styles too than profile pictures with their sony camera. So try to test your camera with creative style and shoot it both outdoors and indoors. I figure out that 6500 looked more grainy when you shoots indoor with minimal lighting, but works just fine when you shoot outdoors.

Hopefully that might help, and I think you guys should take some more time to get to know your camera better! Good luck ?

      JPEG options?

      By XKAES · Posted

      I'd suggest you start by running a simple test.  Take pictures of a typical scene/subject and each of the JPEG settings your camera offers.  Then compare them in the output that you normally produce.  You may or may not see a difference.  I normally shoot at the highest JPEG level and save that file -- but make a smaller file (lower resolution) for normal/typical use. There's plenty of editing that you can do with JPEGs on your computer -- depending on your software -- and there are features in your camera that can help out, as well.  That depends on your camera.  Put them together, and it might meet your needs.  For example, your camera probably has several bracketing features that will take the same shot with different settings with one press of the button.  Then you can select the best JPEG to work with on your computer.  I frequently use this feature to control contrast.

      JPEG options?

      If you set up some basic presets in your processing software and use batch processing, you don't need jpeg at all. I shoot RAW only, use (free) Faststone Image Viewer which will view any type of image file to cull my shots, and batch process in Darktable. I can start with 2000-3000 shots and in a matter of a few hours have them culled, processed, and posted. A handful of shots, say a couple hundred from a photo walk, are done in minutes.  This saves card space, computer space, and upload time.  The results are very good for posting online. When someone wants to buy one or I decide to print it, I can then return to the RAW file and process it individually for optimum results.  I never delete a RAW file. Sometimes I'll return to an old shot I processed several years ago and reprocess it. I have been very surprised how much better they look as my processing skills improved.

      If you're only publishing small-sized photo's or viewing on a phone / computer screen, 12-ish MP should be more than enough for your needs. Since with JPEG, the ability to 'fix' stuff on the computer is very limited anyway, you're not giving up much except the ability to crop/recompose after taking the shot. If you tend to crop often or might print large, shoot fine quality instead as JPEGs don't take up a lot of space anyway. I tend to shoot RAW+JPEG. After a trip/shoot, I download my photos to my computer and quickly scan through my JPEGs to select my keepers. The JPEGs are fine for 90% of my needs but at times there are one or two 'WOW'-shots that I might one day print large. I'll edit the RAW of these photos to my hearts content, generate a JPEG, then delete all RAWs to clear up space.
