Hi ISO NR 229

when printed. Anything larger than that, and/or if you’re the kind of person
who likes to pixel peep (and shame on you if you do – this is a point-and-
shoot for crying out loud! ), then none of these settings will particularly
please you.

Original Image – ISO 6400 Close-up – High ISO NR = Low

High ISO NR = Normal High ISO NR = High
Figure 5-70: The effects of High ISO Noise Reduction on an ISO 6400 image. Normally
the higher the noise reduction level, the “splotchier” the image appears to be. However,
in these examples I am impressed at just how low the noise level is to begin with, even at
ISO 6400!
