A range of test shots are shown over the next few pages. Here, the full size images at the minimum and maximum ISO settings have been reduced for bandwidth purposes to let you see the full image, and a series of crops taken from original full resolution images at a range of ISO settings have been included in order for you to gain an appreciation of the overall quality.





This is the full frame at 64 ISO.





At the minimum ISO setting the image quality is superb, with no noise and smooth even colour with plenty of sharp detail.





Still extremely good at 100 ISO.





There is a hint of colour speckling at 200 ISO, but not enough to cause a problem.





Noise is starting to become more noticeable at 400 ISO, but it is still well controlled.





Although there is visible noise and some loss of detail at 800 ISO the colour rendition is still spot on and the picture would print well.





Image quality takes a bit of a nose-dive at 1600 ISO, with lots of noise and distorted colour.





2000 ISO is the highest full-res setting, but the noise level is very high.





3200 ISO is available at 5MP, and although the image is very processed and lacks fine detail, the colour and exposure are OK and it would look pretty good in a small print.





This is the full frame at 3200 ISO.
