The top ISO of , is very grainy and contains a lot of ugly chroma blotching in darker areas though overall color and saturation remain surprisingly good for the sensitivity. Overall, high ISO performance is pretty good for a full-frame camera, though noise is a little more visible than in the past with Canon's revised default processing.
And while image quality at lower ISOs is now more competitive, high ISO performance is not quite as good as from some competing models from Nikon and Sony. Extremes: Sunlit, dynamic range and low light tests Somewhat high default contrast yet pretty good dynamic range in JPEGs. Excellent low-light AF performance. The Canon R produces images with moderately high contrast. The mannequin's face was far too dim at the default exposure requiring quite a bit of positive exposure compensation.
Shadow detail is excellent as well, with relatively low noise levels. Bottom line: While the Canon EOS R's default evaluative metering and tone curve still results in a darker face than we'd like to see in this shot, its sensor and processing delivers pretty good dynamic range.
Because digital cameras are more like slide film than negative film in that they tend to have a more limited tonal range , we test them in the harshest situations to see how they handle scenes with bright highlights and dark shadows, as well as what kind of sensitivity they have in low light.
The shot above is designed to mimic the very harsh, contrasty effect of direct noonday sunlight, a very tough challenge for most digital cameras.
You can read details of this test here. In actual shooting conditions, be sure to use fill flash in situations like the one shown here; it's better to shoot in open shade whenever possible.
Mouse over the Off and On links to load the corresponding thumbnail, histogram and crops. As you can see, the thumbnails and histograms above clearly show superior highlight preservation when HTP is enabled, with very little impact to the brightness of shadows and midtones.
If you look closely at shadows in the full-res images, you'll notice an increase in noise is the price you pay when ISO is boosted from to , though as mentioned previously, noise in the shadows is pretty low. Mouse over the links below to load the associated thumbnail and histogram, and click on the links to load full resolution images. As you can see above, ALO has the effect of shifting shadows and mid-tones in the histograms to the right, brightening them while leaving highlights pretty much as is, though even the High setting still produced an underexposed image with no exposure compensation.
ISO is not boosted for ALO so increased noise is not an issue, though it may be slightly more visible in shadows that have been boosted significantly.
The source images captured are not saved, and RAW mode is not supported. Above are in-camera HDR Natural results of our "Sunlit" Portrait scene at default exposure mouse over the links above to load the corresponding thumbnail. Be aware that ghosting can occur when elements in the scene move during the sequence capture, though.
Apologies for the dim images; we should have used some positive exposure compensation here. Above are in-camera HDR results of our "Sunlit" Portrait scene comparing Natural to the various Art modes using default exposure mouse over the links above to load the corresponding thumbnail.
Again, apologies for the dim images; we should have used some positive exposure compensation here. As technology advanced, the dynamic range of modern high-end cameras in some cases exceeded the range of the Stouffer T density scale that we used for our own measurements. DxO's approach based on RAW data before demosaicing is also more revealing, because it measures the fundamental dynamic range of the sensor, irrespective of whatever processing is applied to JPEGs, or to RAW data by off-the-shelf conversion software.
In the following, we use DxO's "Print" dynamic range results, which are scaled based on camera resolution. As the name suggests, this scaling corresponds to the situation in which you print at a given size, regardless of how many megapixels the camera might have. In other words, if you've decided to make a 13x19 inch print, that's the size you're printing, whether the camera's resolution is 16 or megapixels.
Also note that DxO Labs uses a signal-to-noise SNR threshold of 1 when defining the lower boundary of acceptable luminance noise in their dynamic range measurements, which corresponds to the "Low Quality" threshold of the Imatest software we used to use for this measurement. As you can see, the EOS R's dynamic range is practically identical to that of the 5D Mark IV, which isn't a surprise given they share very similar if not identical sensors. Bottom line: Good dynamic range for a full-frame camera as we'd expect from the best performing Canon sensor to date, however rival full-frame models from Sony and Nikon offer significantly higher dynamic range.
The Canon EOS R has a built-in AF assist lamp, and so it can focus in complete darkness as long as the subject is within range and has sufficient contrast. How bright is this? The one foot-candle light level that this test begins at roughly corresponds to the brightness of typical city street-lighting at night. Cameras performing well at that level should be able to snap good-looking photos of street-lit scenes. NOTE : This low light test is conducted with a stationary subject, and the camera mounted on a sturdy tripod.
Most digital cameras will fail miserably when faced with a moving subject in dim lighting. For example, a child's ballet recital or a holiday pageant in a gymnasium. ISO 50 through prints look nearly identical, with crisp, fine detail and vibrant, pleasing colors, which all easily make for excellent prints up to our maximum test print size of 30 x 40 inches. With a 30MP full-frame sensor, the EOS R easily makes prints up to this large size; an extremely minimal amount of pixelation is visible at close inspection, but for a typical viewing distance, it's hardly an issue.
Overall, in terms of a maximum print size at these lower ISOs, you're only limited to how much you want to push the camera's resolving power, otherwise print quality is excellent at 30 x 40 inches and smaller.
ISO prints begin to show some visible noise, and we see a slight softening of fine detail, although the image overall still displays very good fine detail.
Here, we capped prints at a still-respectable 24 x 36 inches, which is still very large. Overall, noise is very minimal, and careful post-processing might get you cleaner images that are capable of even larger prints at this sensitivity.
That being said, with careful post processing or for less critical applications, a 20 x inch print could be acceptable. Noise is, of course, stronger, but still very well controlled for the most part. Higher contrast details are still crisp, and colors are still rich and pleasing. It's in the C. Fn I exposure menu. I haven't shot a cropped sensor body at ISO, so I'm unable to offer direct advice on dealing with noise.
A couple things though. First, think of what you'll do as noise reduction rather than noise removal. While you can make a photograph at those very high ISO values, you usually do so knowing full well that the IQ of the resulting image will be reduced a great deal. You choose these settings in most cases simply because the only alternative is not making a photograph at all.
I would love to have a go at your raw files. Yes, there is a bit of trial and error finding the right level of luminance to use with the Deep Prime de-noise, but I've found it pretty consistent across the types of images I shoot for a given ISO. For example Deep Prime de-noise seems to work well on most of my images with luminance around For some very low ISO images sometimes HQ noise reduction does a very nice job and of course is much faster.
I use the 'magnifier center' tool to the upper right of the little preview window to look at areas of the image, the parts that look the noisiest. However there are still times I end up processing more than once if the final result doesn't look quite right. I wonder how AI it is. I wonder if the results I get today would be the same as the results I would get next month using the same file with the same settings.
I have quite a few of these type of shots on my M6 because of the stupid sensitivity of the rearwheel where it gets accidently switched. Sadly the shots are too noisy, so most are deleted. M6ii look pretty usable for extreme cases. Maybe I will pick up another M this BF if i come across a good deal. Yup, darn amazing. Looks better than some of the ISO images from my early digital cameras! Even when I shoot. Good judgment comes from experience.
Experience comes from bad judgment. Reality is that we would seldom have to shoot at ISO, and yet when we have to, it's no longer about images in the no-fly zone. I am often shooting at ISO with my M6ii and up to ISO with my R6 without any hesitation, something unthinkable for me as recently as a few months ago.
OK, I'd like to get in on the act. I had a moment to take some test shots today. First I had to go into the camera menu and raise my maximum ISO setting by a couple of stops! Then enable Electronic Shutter to get a high enough shutter speed so that exposures came out near normal. Images are px small side. Also, all Images are compressed jpegs, further zipped for my gallery upload. Click on "original size. I'll share additional photos as I head out to a mountainside location over the weekend, most likely images taken at night in which high ISO settings would really make sense, for a more 'real world' kind of reference.
These "extreme" examples convey how easy it would be to clean up noise from the more "usual" ISO shots. We dig into the detail The Nikon Z mm F2. With a versatile focal length range and a fast aperture for low light photography and blurry backgrounds, this lens promises sharp imagery and smooth bokeh with minimal aberrations.
