Shooting in low-light situations with high ISO settings can introduce some digital noise in your footage.

If you shoot video in low-light situations there are only a couple of things you can play with to get a correct exposure: lighting, aperture, and sensitivity (or ISO). If you can’t get more light onto your subject and your aperture is already wide open, your only choice is to crank up your ISO settings. By increasing your ISO settings, you are telling your camera to increase the voltage of an amplifier close to the sensor, which brightens the image. By doing so, you’re also introducing more digital noise in your final image. Indeed, modern camera sensors are getting better and better at handling digital noise and low-light situations. Still, sometimes you don’t have the choice, and you have to shoot at settings that would be unimaginable a couple of years ago, which results in digital...
