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 minimum ISO.

There is some colour mottling visible even at this lowest ISO setting.

Not much different at 100 ISO.

The noise control has removed some of the problems at 200 ISO, but some fine detail has been lost.

At 800 ISO the image is suddenly covered in what appears to be hot pixel noise.

The situation is looking decidedly snowy at 1600 ISO.

At 2000 ISO the trains have stopped running and all the schools have closed for the day.

This is the full frame at maximum ISO.
