I have a K10D (love it) and the TAv mode is freedom itself!
I wanted to understand noise throughout the ISO range better so I could adjust the auto ISO function. I wanted the most flexibility I could get but I didn’t want photos too noisy to use. So I set up a quick test shot (sorry for the lack of wow factor) and I wanted to post my results and get a discussion going.
I am posting the ISO 100 version of the complete test shot and a series of crops of the test shots with higher ISOs up to 1600. All photos where shot RAW with K10D, A series 50mm f1.4 lens at f2.8 with camera noise reduction on. No corrections made to the images.
The noise steadily increased in the out-of-focus areas but the in-focus areas of the photos hold up quite well.
Can anyone explain this?
Any magical hints on limiting noise?
Comments on TAv for President?
