I'm a little confused on how to play with the gamma setting for the lower part of the curve.
what's the difference between
BLACK LEVEL and BLACK GAMMA and MASTER PED in camera settings?
what the relationship with noise?
if for instance I want to change the setting of my camera so as to see more into the shadows (without taking into account any color correction in post)
I set (just as an example)
black level at -2
master ped at +2 so as to lower the contrast
black gamma (that alters the whole shape of the gamma curve in its toe) at +2 to brighten the image
am I right?
my question is: how does noise react to this new setting?
