Nikon D5000 Digital SLR - Test Shots - ISO Performance

Over the next few pages we show a range of test shots. On this page the full size image at the minimum and maximum ISO settings have been reduced to let you see the full image, and a series of full resolution crops have taken from original images at a range of ISO settings to show the overall image quality. These pictures were taken indoors using reflected natural light

----

Despite mild under-exposure, this is the full frame at the minimum 200 ISO.

----

At the minimum ISO setting the image is clean and noise-free, if a little dark.

----

400 ISO and there are still no significant problems.

----

800 ISO and already noise is visible, and colour depth is reduced.

----

Exposure is slightly more accurate at 1600 ISO, but the red is very blotchy.

----

For comparison here's the same shot with High ISO noise control turned to maximum. Unfortunately it's under-exposed again.

----

The maximum 3200 ISO, and there is a lot of noise all over the image.

----

This is the full frame at 3200 ISO.
