Olympus SP-560UZ - 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.

----



This is the full frame at 50 ISO.

----



At the minimum 50 ISO setting, the image quality is extremely good. That blue line is a reflection.

----



Still very high quality at 100 ISO.

----



At 200 ISO however there is visible noise in the darker areas of the shot.

----



Noise is a bit worse at 400 ISO, with reduced detail and contrast.

----



At 800 ISO the colour rendition is affected and image quality is lowered significantly.

----



Most fine detail has been lost at 1600 ISO, and colour is badly affected.

----



3200 ISO is pretty much unusable.

----



The maximum 6400 ISO setting is a virtually useless gimmick.

----



This is the full frame at 6400 ISO.
