Direct answer
Rather than chasing the label “dual native ISO”, the practical goal is: cleaner shadows and predictable noise in your real video mode.
How to test your best low-light ISO points (steps)
- Set your exact video mode (resolution, frame rate, picture profile/CLOG if you use it).
- Lock aperture and shutter speed.
- Record the same scene at a spread of ISO values (for example: 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400).
- Review on a computer and compare shadow noise and highlight retention.
- Pick the 1–2 ISO points that look best for your workflow and stick to them.
What to do in real shooting
- Expose so you don’t have to lift shadows aggressively in post (that’s where noise gets ugly).
- If you use log, learn your preferred exposure offset and keep it consistent.
