This is unlike the other cameras that I have tried. Using the new 'noise model' slider with negative values I can obtain results similar to DeepPrime (last picture) but more often than not this introduces an unnatural look in the out-of-focus areas and does not significantly improve detail retention with respect to DeepPrime.Įven keeping the 'noise model' slider at negative values, there is very little sensitivity to the 'luminance' slider for DeepPrimeXD. This is a general behavior that I have observed at high-iso and is not strictly picture-dependent (this test shot is rather crappy). On the contrary with the K-3iii at high iso at L40 XD produces way more grain in the out-of-focus areas, and there is almost no difference in going from 0 to 100 with the luminance slider.

Images are named with a suffix contaning the settings, the first number is the master (luminance) slider, if there is a second number I refer to the 'noise model' slider that is new in DPL6.Īs you can see at the default luminance of 40, DeepPrimeXD produces equal or slightly less grain in the blurred areas with no artifacts, and preserves even more detail.Īnd what's more, there is a strong dependence of the residual noise on the luminance value, from 0 to 100 (last two pictures) I am clearly exploring the trade-off between detail preservation and removal of grain. This is shot with a Fuji XF10, 24MP APS-C sensor (non X-trans). Up to ISO1600, perhaps 3200 both DeepPrime and XD seem to do a good job and behave 'as intended' (i.e. It was taken in 'bad' light, but it is representative of the general impression I have in the range of about ISO3200+ to ISO12800+. I will post some examples from an ISO12800 test image.

With the new XD variant I think that there is some evidence that support (that is, I guess, fine-tuning of the model for this camera model) could better. Since I got the camera I was under the impression that the DeepPrime NR did not do as good a job as on my older cameras.

I'm experimenting with the new PL6 and the K-3 mark 3.
