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.





This is the full frame at 100 ISO. It's a bit dark due to the adjustable long-exposure shutter setting being limiter to 1/8th. Unfortunately the camera has no been returned to Panasonic, so I can't replace it.





The shot may be a stop too dark, but the image quality is extremely good at 100ISO.





200 ISO with better exposure, and still no real noise problems.





400 ISO and the noise reduction is already erasing detail.





Noise is a major problem at 800ISO, but colour is still fairly accurate.





1600 ISO is best avoided.





This is the full frame at 1600 ISO.
