Still playing with my new K20D and trying to discover what REAL changes every single mode or adjustable setting will actually do.

Well, to my surprise, the FINE SHARPNESS feature, explained in page 155 (item 5) of the manual, when activated, indeed produces a bit sharper images, but with unacceptable noise levels.

See the results:

Attachment 14296

No doubt the "chain" looks sharper on the left image, but the noise level at the smooth wall paint is a lot higher. Also note the "edge" (left in diagonal). On the left shows like a highlight that "pretends" to render a sharper image, but in reality, such highlighted edge does not exist (see right image)

Anyone has noticed such?
