Samsung PL55 - 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 shaded natural light.

----



This is the full frame at 80 ISO.

----



At the minimum ISO setting the image is clean and well detailed, with smooth colour gradients.

----



Already at 100 ISO there is a little colour mottling on the green area.

----



At 200 ISO the noise reduction is already starting to reduce the level of fine detail.

----



Noise is starting to become clearly visible at 400 ISO.

----



800 ISO and more detail is lost. Colour is also starting to become somewhat random.

----



The image is very noisy at 1600 ISO, and the colour gradients are very blocky.

----



3200 ISO is available at 3MP, but the picture quality is not very good.

----



This is the full frame at 3200 ISO.
