grainy 9500

hardc0re_tid · 28 Mar 2007 at 16:24

was out lastnight and took some snaps on manual mode. i havnt had time to properly play about with the camera different settings etc.

the sun was going down so i decided to take a few shots captureing the reflection of the sun on the sea, looked well on the display, when i got home they looked very grainy, even the ones that my dad took of me and my GF.

any idea why they look like grainy. ill upload them when i get home. i cant remember the settings i used other than manual and ISO 100, so ill provide the EXIF data too

Were they long exposures? It'll really help if we could see the pics with some EXIF data.

I have the 9500, don't have much problems with grain though.

Were they exposed well? Keep an eye on the histogram and try to expose right.

ISO set too high ?

Long exposures and an ISO higher than 400 can produce marginal results on the S9500

I personally wouldn't use an ISO higher than 400 at all on it tbh. Just use a tripod and use longer exposures.

Would post up an example at iso800, but it's a 37mb image *oops* and looks terrible.

I always try to shoot at ISO80 - occasionally going up to 200.

It's really the main reason I've order a couple of DSLR's recently to get a camera I'll be happy with for a while.
