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.

/0b7473|dc3a_7869-PentaxS12ISOmin.jpg

This is a full-frame image at the minimum sensitivity of 64 ISO.

----

/4ae907|e5ac_7869-PentaxS12ISO64.jpg

At 64 ISO the image quality is very good, with no noise problems, although the green saturation could be higher.

----

/166a2d|f305_7869-PentaxS12ISO100.jpg

Still no major issues at 100 ISO.

----

/c49e1e|790a_7869-PentaxS12ISO200.jpg

Noise is visible at 200 ISO, but the image is still perfectly usable.

----

/2be4f6|033f_7869-PentaxS12ISO400.jpg

There is a noticeable drop in image quality at 400 ISO as the noise reduction system goes to work.

----

/8455b2|5262_7869-PentaxS12ISO800.jpg

All fine detail is lost at 800 ISO, and the image looks blurred.

----

/6e7fff|3f8e_7869-PentaxS12ISO1600.jpg

Image quality is very poor at 1600 ISO, and this setting is best avoided.

----

/d2e1bc|db27_7869-PentaxS12ISOmax.jpg

This is the full frame at 1600 ISO.
