Noise Reduction

We measured strong but not standout noise performance from the ELPH 530 HS. The noise-to-signal ratio crosses 1 percent somewhere right above ISO 200, but remains under 2 percent up until the maximum ISO setting of 3200. Heavier noise reduction appears to kick in around ISO 800, based on the slight drop in noise levels compared to ISO 400. More on how we test noise.

ISO Options

The ELPH 530 HS's native ISO range stretches from 100 to 3200, selectable by the user in full stops. The Low Light scene mode can extend the range up to ISO 6400, but at just 2.5 megapixels.
