maxofrome Posted October 10, 2015 Share #1 Posted October 10, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Dear user, yesterday I was at a wedding and I had the chance to use this lovely camera for some shot. I set the ISO to 800 and manage the aperture of my 90mm to obtain enough light for the shot. Indeed I am not really happy of what I see at just 800 ISO. Probably my mistake is setting the camera, but looking at the file I had the same concern as at the time with the M9. Have you example of better behaviour of the M at 800 ISO and higher?

erudolph Posted October 10, 2015 Share #2 Posted October 10, 2015 The shot at this link was at ISO 2500. In LightRoom, some NR was applied to the blacks. I hope this is useful to you. https://www.flickr.com/photos/edrudolph/21755451830/in/dateposted/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

d2mini Posted October 10, 2015 Share #4 Posted October 10, 2015 This was 3200 iso. No noise reduction. Shot in RAW and processed through Lightroom. i-7T8xPnb-4422x2882.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Kilmister Posted October 10, 2015 Share #6 Posted October 10, 2015 @maxofrome: It looks far too grainy for ISO 800. Did you run test shots before taking the money shots? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted October 10, 2015 Share #7 Posted October 10, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Perhaps you've underexposed. Is the whole pic available? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonel Posted October 11, 2015 Share #8 Posted October 11, 2015 Nice noise very analogy all cameras make noise, even the A7S If you underexposure or out-of-focus there will be some at 800 in all cameras in raw, unless the raw is frigged Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxofrome Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share #9 Posted October 11, 2015 Thanks all for the feedback. Yes let me share the complete picture. The image at this scale show no or minimum noise, that is obviously more visible on the blue jacket and in the background. Welcome, dear visitor!

maxofrome Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share #10 Posted October 11, 2015 This was 3200 iso. No noise reduction. Shot in RAW and processed through Lightroom. i-7T8xPnb-4422x2882.jpg Thanks for sharing. I admit are similar results I obtained with the M9 after a slight post processing but for sure not at ISO 3200. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted October 11, 2015 Share #11 Posted October 11, 2015 Did you underexpose? Also did you shoot raw? Just curious as it seems that sharpness was enhanced in your exif data. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JonathanP Posted October 11, 2015 Share #12 Posted October 11, 2015 Was the original underexposed and have you lifted the shadows? There's a little tell-tale green tint in the noise on the jacket. If you shot raw and use Lightroom you could try running it through my plugin (http://blog.perkins.org.uk), it might help to remove that green cast.

tobey bilek Posted October 11, 2015 Share #15 Posted October 11, 2015 I have a few secrets to pass on. M cameras have a ton of color noise, i.e. different colored speckles. Fix these first against procedure. Then do the Luminescence noise which appears as grain. Magnify to 100% exactly. Hold option or ALT key and the image goes to monochrome. It is easier to see what you are doing. Noise appears in shadows more than highlights so why destroy the highlights? Solution is a LUMINOSITY MASK TO CONFINE noise reduction to shadow areas. You can preserve edges for the softening effects of NR by using an edge mask which looks like a pen and ink drawing. Run your photo through ACR with no sharpening or NR, open in PS as smart object, dup layer, move it back to ACR and do the NR and basic sharpening. Add edge mask and luminosity mask the the dup layer This is why I use PS instead of LR. All this works really really well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted October 11, 2015 Share #16 Posted October 11, 2015 Never got noise problems at 800 iso so far. Just shot this snap at 800 iso with 0.7 EV underexposure (C1 v8, default noise correction). There is of course a bit of noise in some darker parts of the pic but nothing to worry about IMHO. M240 is not a noisy camera below 3200 iso but there are only two stops between 800 and 3200 iso so larger underexposures can be more problematic than with cleaner cameras.

Loren Posted October 12, 2015 Share #17 Posted October 12, 2015 You must always expose to the right when using high iso on any camera. Failure to do that just brings noise out of the woodwork. Let's see the histogram and I bet it is underexposed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mornnb Posted October 12, 2015 Share #19 Posted October 12, 2015 Noise is exaggerated in the shadows at high ISO. Be sure to not underexpose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
