Just done a little test for video noise level for different picture style on mavic.

The latest firmware change the algorithm of D-log mode and I try to use this mode for shooting, grading and denoising.

No doubt, D-log provide the best dynamic range but also produce tons of noise in shadow area. color is not accurate, too. (red towards to purple, blue channel is weaker than red and green channel).

I'm using Neat Video to compare the noise level, same location and lighting, ISO 100, detect the noise at the lower left corner, find the highest value on 6 different frames.

The highest noise level result as below (bigger value = more noise),
D-log : 15.9
D-cinelike : 13.6
Normal : 9.8
Art : 14.3

Please leave me a comment if I have done anyhting wrong with this test.

I'm not sure what to do with that information. Is Normal less noisy in the corner because there is less information in that contrasty area?
