Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ38 - 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

This is the full frame at 80 ISO.

80 ISO is a new setting for the FZ38. The image quality is exceptionally good with no trace of image noise.

----



Not much difference at 100 ISO.

----



Still no noise problems at 200 ISO.

----



400 ISO, and there are some signs of noise reduction at work, but the image is sharp and well detailed.

----



The noise reduction is a bit more noticeable at 800 ISO, but still the image quality is pretty good.

----



At 1600 ISO there is some loss of detail, but the image is still usable for smaller prints.

This is the full frame at maximum ISO.
