Very visible corner shading occurs, however, with a resulting buildup of
luminance noise in the corners, and portraits often display red eyes,
as well
as relatively low levels of fine detail preservation.
Noise reduction is also good, especially under bright light, and although some
luminance noise is visible in homogenous areas (such
as the sky when shooting outdoors), it's not a significant concern.
Noise reduction is generally very well - controlled, too, and although a slight build up of
luminance noise is visible in areas of uniform color (such
as the sky), it's not too concerning.
Some
luminance noise is visible in the sky, particularly in cloudy conditions, although in areas of uniform color (such
as a clear blue sky), the effect is better controlled.
