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 64 ISO





At the lowest ISO setting the 1/4-second maximum exposure time has caused the shot to be slightly under-exposed, but there are only faint signs of image noise





100 ISO is now correctly exposed, but there is slightly more noise than the lower setting.





The noise reduction system seems to be tuned to produce the best results at 200 and 400 ISO. This shot would print well.





Some detail is lost at 400 ISO, but the result is still quite usable.





Not so good at 800 ISO though.





1600 ISO is the highest setting at full resolution.





3200 ISO is available at 3MP.





So is 6400, but the quality is pretty terrible.

Wait, did someone just complain that I didn't give a Panasonic camera a high enough score? Oh the irony!
