>>4303040>I definitely see noise at times and I'm unsure how to deal with it. Usually in low light. Even at ISO 100.Myself, I don't fuck with noise reduction and just leave it in unless it's extremely offensive like APS-C noise at 6400 ISO (in situations where it was either take the shot, or don't, in shit lighting).
The subtle noise at 100 ISO (and proper exposure, good lighting) will never go away unless you post-process it out but all noise reduction reduces detail so I leave all low ISO noise in.
>I haven't yet paid any specific attention to color accuracy, more going by what feels right, as I doubt my old monitor is even close to accurate.With a color checker you let software calculate everything to achieve accurate colors, you don't have to have a calibrated monitor or anything.
They can't always be used (on the go) but whenever you have a tripod set up you can usually snap a shot of a color checker before shooting the subject and get good results from it. You only need to re-take a shot of a color checker if lighting noticeably changes so for indoor purposes this means unless you change your light bulbs all your indoor pictures can usually use the old shot of the color checker taken under the same lighting. At night without daylight leaking in, it's usable for almost forever. Lights might degrade over time so occasionally re-taking a shot of the target helps keep it up to date but for general use it improves photo quality even if it is slightly inaccurate in most cases, so long as the lighting is similar (share a shot for rooms with same bulbs, or color temps, but not different types+temps) and it'll be better than just using the camera input profile and camera white balance. For anything serious (photographing art/photo prints, etc) you'd want to darken the room and use high CRI lights and shoot the checker the same day you're photographing prints or art for best results though.
