Amazing BAD quality of RAW dngs

[pianogirl]

I've instalated ML on my Canon 5D MKIII and I recorded test video..
Put everything to raw2dng, then open in davinci and I've found that it's really terrible quality, like ISO milion (maximum noise).  Everywhere I have noises and lines. I used ISO less than 400, so I don't know why it's like this. Please help me.

I attach one of the test dng file.

Expose to the right. Even if you clip a few unimportant highlights.

I used ISO less than 400

That's part of the problem. ISO does *not* increase the noise, it actually cleans it up when you can't capture enough photons. Don't be afraid of ISO 1600.

Start by looking in the tutorial section of the forum.

Ok, but is it normal that I have such a bad image like this:

If you don't expose properly, the image can be as bad as this (and yes, it's normal):

But which exposition is the best for ML?
Should I set something also in the standard canon menu or only ML?

[Audionut]

I'd suggest you stay away from ML and go learn about exposure.  When you have the fundamental knowledge required for photo(video)graphy, you can return to ML with a basic understanding of what does what.

I'm not being mean, I'm being honest.  If you don't know how to expose, problems understanding ML are the least of your worries.
