Can't follow you.
Under what circumstance is an ISO80 image noisier than an ISO400 image?
By "noisier" are you referring to the total amount of noise in the image, or to the SNR?
Are you referring to 2 images with the same exposure (scene luminance, f-stop, shutter speed), but with different amounts of ISO gain applied?
Or are you instead referring to 2 images with different exposures, but with the ISO80 image having a certain percentage of sensel outputs at FWC and the ISO400 image with the same percentage of ADC output values at digital Full Scale i.e. both at a similar saturation/clipping level for that ISO), so they both have a similar rendered brightness?
