dlbr Posted February 22, 2017 Share #1 Posted February 22, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi M8'ers, I always wandered, why, when shooting raw, the images from M8 looked subjectively better when shot at lowest available ISO and pushed up in PP, than those of higher ISO settings. I guess it has been mentioned here several times, but I found this article on DP Review, which gives perfect technical explanation why it could be the real case and not just an impression. Read here: https://www.dpreview.com/articles/0388507676/sources-of-noise-part-two-electronic-noise I infer M8 simply has relatively low downstream noise which allows for this mode of use. It is a bit older post from DP Review, but I hope you find it useful as much as I did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
