1/8th, f/5.6
At the minimum ISO (80), the image is noise-free with good sharpness and colour resolution.

1/8th, f/5.6
At 100 ISO the camera’s exposure meter has selected the same settings as before, and so the picture is about 1/3rd of a stop brighter. Still no noise though.

1/15th, f/5.6
At 200 ISO there is a hint of colour speckling in the mid-tone and darker areas, but not enough to cause a problem at normal printing sizes.

1/30th, f/5.6
At 400 ISO, the highest that can be set manually, there is a little image noise and colour speckling, but again it is very well controlled and the picture would make a good print.
