Video shooting Setting for Nikon Z5II

[rahulmulik9]

I’m using a Nikon Z5II and would like to know the best video settings for shooting landscapes.

I read somewhere that the Z5II has a base ISO of 800, but when I shoot at ISO 800—even on a sunny day—I still get quite a lot of grain/noise.
I also remember that my shutter speed was around 1/1000 because I forgot to use an ND filter. I was shooting at 30 fps, but the footage still had a lot of noise.

Apart from ISO, what other camera settings should I use to get the best video quality? I mostly shoot landscape videos.

The sensor is "dual gain". Base ISO is 100, but there is a 2nd point at 800 where the quality improves a bit then gets noisy from there. So if you were to choose 400 or 800, it would be better to shoot 800 against all prior common sense.

Next thing to address: does your selected video resolution or perhaps the lens you use force you into DX crop mode? Less pixels are used and noise becomes more prominent.
