Panasonic TZ202: ISO Comparisons - Daylight

Day Light Series - Default PhotoStyle Settings | Day Light Series - My PhotoStyle Settings | Day Light Series - My PhotoStyle Settings (EV -1) | Comparisons of Detail Sections

On this page, I present ISO comparisons for the Panasonic TZ202 using day light shots. Note that I took shots at ISO 125 instead of ISO 100 because this is the lowest "true" sensitivity. In addition, this is the first camera, where I do not use the default settings for noise reduction and sharpness (these are set in PhotoStyle).

Day Light Series - Default PhotoStyle Settings

In this day light series, I demonstrate the Sony Panasonic TZ202's ISO performance at its default settings (all PhotoStyle settings at zero) and present 100% crops for easier judgement. Click the images for the original versions.

Day Light Series - My Settings

In this day light series, I demonstrate the Sony Panasonic TZ202's ISO performance at my settings* (all PhotoStyle settings at zero, except for noise reduction = -5, sharpness = +3) and present 100% crops for easier judgement. Click the images for the original versions.

*) I use these settings to make the photos look crisper, more detailed, and more similar to those of the Sony RX100 M4.

Day Light Series - My Settings (EV -1)

In this day light series, I demonstrate the Sony Panasonic TZ202's ISO performance at my settings* (all PhotoStyle settings at zero, except for noise reduction = -5, sharpness = +3) and EV -1**. I also present 100% crops for easier judgement. Click the images for the original versions.

*) I use these settings to make the photos look crisper, more detailed, and more similar to those of the Sony RX100 M4. **) I use EV -1 because the default exposure was too bright for comparisoms with other cameras.

Comparisons of Detail Sections

Default PhotoStyle Settings versus My PhotoStyle Settings

Below, I compare the detail sections at 100% crop for both PhotoStyle settings. Overall, my own settings show more details, but also more noise (which is unavoidable...).
