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 ISO test images are shot indoors using reflected natural light for maximum consistency.




This is the full frame at the minimum ISO setting.




Image quality at 64 ISO is very good, but there is still a bit of colour motting visible in the green areas, and the red mid-tones are a bit blotchy too.




Not much difference at 100 ISO.




At 200 ISO the noise reduction is beginning to kick in, but the overall level of detail is still high.




Very good results at 400 ISO, thanks to a well-tuned noise reduction system.




Detail is starting to fade at 800 ISO, but the results are still printable.




It's starting to fall apart at 1600 ISO.




3200 ISO is available at 3MP. Colour is OK, but the detail is very low.




Even worse results at 6400 ISO.




This is the full frame at the maximum ISO setting.
