looking for advise for best camera settings to reduce noise

shooting into the dark at ISO 3200 is always going to produce noise. Use one of the post-processing noise reducers to fix it.

I don’t know if you can time and produce your shots like that, but an old trick from the movie business for night-shoots is making sure that the streets are wet so you get lots of reflection to camouflage noise/grain through catching as many specular highlights as you can.

Several suggestions.

1. Use ISO 400 and increase exposure in processing. Do some tests with the same scene, with camera on the tripod and compare results.

2. Use minimal sharpening.

3. Use high amount of masking so that dark areas are not sharpened.

Example with S 006 at ISO 400 https://djessemay.com/images/switzerland/color/Horgen-L1003594-20180727.jpg

Location has nothing to do with ISO. Nothing prevents him from using the original shutter speed with ISO 400 and increasing exposure in processing software.

it is not just location.. it is speed, oscillation, vibration, the dark in a HELICOPTER  etc...

doubt you can obtain much at 400..

@Albert: Jesse talks about underexposure the frame by a some stops (ISO 400 rather than 1600), then pushing the equivalent in post (+2). This technique was known to be better for M9 CCD sensors, and probably as well for the S2 and S 006. I have tried this suscessfully myself with the M9.
