A range of general test shots are shown over the next two pages. In some cases, the full size image has been reduced for bandwidth purposes, and a crop taken from the original full resolution image has been placed below it to show the overall image quality.

This is the full frame image at the lowest setting of ISO64

At 100% the ISO64 image shows no sign of noise

This continues as the gain is raised to ISO100

ISO200 is still pretty clean

ISO400 shows some noise beginning to appear

ISO800 shows visible noise, with some softening from the NR

ISO 1600 is very noisy

ISO 3200 demonstrates the automatic noise reduction kicking in

The reduced resolution (3MP) image at ISO6400 is very noisy indeed

This is the full frame image at ISO 6400
