How to upload images: Prepare the image as follows: 1.   The image should be sRGB and 8-bits 2.   Reduce the size to 2480 pixels on the longest side. (smaller sizes can be set, but are not recommended) 3.   Sharpen properly for screen. 4.   Save as JPG to your desktop, reducing JPG quality to produce 2000 kB (5000 kB for sponsoring members). 5.   In Lightroom these parameters should be set in the Export dialog. 6.   In the Forum posting or editing box, click “c

When I look back over my Digilux 2 photos, I fall in love  with that camera all over again. There is certainly something to be said about the Leica photos....and for me...it's the softness of the high

I would appreciate any comments. The attached picture was an accidental frame but it illustrates an aspect of the D2 about which I am unhappy. The dark areas, particularly the jacket in the left bottom corner shows a lot of noise. This shot was at ISO 100 f3.2, 1/100. The original was in Raw, this is a straight jpg conversion.

Fingers crossed I have attached the photo okay.

Hi LuxBob,

 

are asking the D2 to do a lot with this photo. It's hard to tell, but it looks like a photo taken from a dark office or conference room and aimed at a glass wall into a well lit corridor. Not a worst case scenario, but coming pretty close to it. You have a relatively big bright area (with a "highlight" rectangle - a door?) on one side and a VERY dark area on the other.

 

The 1/100 exposure is good for not overblowing the bright areas, but not sufficient to get enough detail for the dark areas, hence the noise. How did you select 1/100? Was it in A mode?

 

Hopefully, other - far more knowledgeable - people chime in, but I am not sure how well other digital cameras would fare under these condition.

Agree it is a demanding shot and not one that I intended. The camera would have been on fully auto, which is how I leave it sleeping. Yes, it's from the office where the sun blasts in from time to time.

Just to show it can do nice things, here is a bit of nostalgia:

Luxbob, noise in the dark areas is a known issue with the Digilux 2, in particular if the dark areas are exposed too long, or if dark areas have been blown up too much.

Put simply, the area of the jacket is underexposed. ANY camera will generate noise when underexposed. So, in reality, the problem is a non-problem. It's not a good picture... or a correct exposure.

 

In theory, you should expose for the shadow... if in fact you wanted a photo of the jacket. I fear however, you would then complain about the light being over exposed. In poorly lit situations we are forced to make trade offs. A camera on Automatic doesn't make choices... it makes averages... and mistakes.

Check the histogram. If the blacks are clipped, that is the reason. If there is very little or no information in the blacks, any attempt to retrieve light will lead to noise. Inescapable in any camera, not just the D2.
