Noise in shadows PRO LOG

i tend to get a lot of noise in my shadows, even with a very low ISO (100-800)
I am shooting on a sony a6500 with the PRO LOG cine picture profile.

Does anyone have any advice on this, is it like S-LOG where you have to expose +2 stops?

Here is an example (Rendered at maximum depth and exported with vbr 2 pass 25/30)
especially the first couple shots is noisey in the shadows the exposure shouldn't be less than -0,3 and this shows even before youtube compression.

To be honest, I can't see any disturbing noise in the shots you mentioned.

The footage looks clean and pleasing to the eye.

 

 

Here's the advice, though:

A quote from the .pdf file you should have, if you actually bought EOSHD for Sony (I hope Andrew won't mind) :

Quote

Pro LOG Cinema benefits from exposing at 0 on the exposure meter in-camera (that is to say in the
middle) or sometimes slightly under to protect the highlights. However Pro LOG S (S-LOG based) benefits
from exposing at least 1.5-stops to-the-right (+1.5 on the exposure meter in-camera).

Um your blacks are nowhere close to black in this video. LOG footage is noisy in the shadows before grading, it's not meant as a straight out of camera look.
