Nikon V1 ISO Test
TWO SETS OF IMAGES - ONE SET CONVERTED FROM LIGHTROOM 3.6RC AND ONE SET FROM NIKON CAPTURE NX2.
For the Lightroom 3.6RC test files, I used Aperture priority, f/9 (30-110mm lens), +.3 exposure compensation in camera, NEF file type, Autofocus on the Claritin label, VR off. Files converted to JPG in Adobe Lightroom 3.6RC. Lightroom settings were: noise reduction set to the default, which is no luminance noise reduction, but color noise reduction at 25, detail 50. Camera profile was set to 'Camera Standard'
For the Capture NX 2 test files, I used Aperture priority, f/8, +1/3 exposure compensation, NEF file type, Autofocus on the Triaminic label, VR off. Files converted to JPG in Nikon Capture NX2. Capture NX2 settings were: change white balance to incandescent, noise reduction ON: better quality. No, this isn't the best scene to use for a high ISO test, but it's what I've been using for the other cameras I played with, so I used it for this too. I like the high ISO performance from the V1.
