Sample Photos
Sample Photos
In the following sample images, clicking on the larger image will download the full resolution original. Each photo is accompanied by four actual-size crops.
| Detail Sample | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
Focal length: 6.4mm Shot under bright light, on automatic white balance. This Presbyterian cathedral offers fine detail that shows up well in the photograph. Even at ISO 100, there’s a bit of image noise creeping into the 100% crops, as well as some artifacting. |
|||
 |
 |
 |
||
| Macro Sample | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
Focal length: 6.4mm Set on daylight white balance, and under a bright sky, with macro focus. The maximum aperture of f/3.6 doesn’t provide for the narrow depth of field that macro lovers crave. |
|||
 |
 |
 |
||
| Crowd Sample | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
Focal length: 16.9mm With white balance set on auto, and the sky starting to cloud over, this crowd of concert-goers make for plenty of color and detail. The lack of sharpness with this camera is evident in these crops. |
|||
 |
 |
 |
||
| Dynamic Range Sample ('Lighting' Off) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
Focal length: 16.9mm Using the ‘Lighting’ tool, which is a dynamic range adjustment, you can see how much information is pulled out of the under-exposed areas. Shooting normally, most of the detail of the bushes and trees is completely lost. |
|||
 |
 |
 |
||
| Dynamic Range Sample ('Lighting' On) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
However, once ‘Lighting’ is turned on, detail is salvaged…but the noise levels increase. |
|||
 |
 |
 |
||
| Color Sample | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
Focal length: 10.4mm This photo shows a number of objects with known colors, which provides a real-world example of the camera’s color accuracy. The shot was taken with automatic white balance. According to our testing, the camera had good greens, but struggled with yellows and blues. |
