1/50th, f/4, ISO 100
At the minimum ISO setting the picture is silky smooth with no noise, as you’d expect.

At 200 ISO there is still no image noise.
----


1/125th, f/5.6, ISO 400
Up to 400 ISO and already there is visible noise in the darker areas of the image.
----


1/160th, f/6.3, ISO 800
At 800 ISO the image noise is now quite significant, but the image is just about usable.
----

At the maximum 1600 ISO the image noise is now so bad that the shot is effectively unusable.
