A moderate amount of noise is present throughout the image however, and is stronger in the shadow areas. We also noticed a faint, vertical stripe pattern in the noise grain of the shadows, most visible in the lower left corner of the image. Other than the dark exposure, the color and tonal rendition is pretty good. The 315's 5.8mm lens produces some distortion in this closer, portrait shot. Resolution looks better with this shot, with more fine details visible throughout the face and hair.
Details also appear crisper.
Noise is moderate throughout the image, again with the faint, vertical stripe pattern in the darkest shadow areas. The 315's built-in flash appears a pretty weak in this indoor portrait, producing faint, bluish tints in the highlights. The camera's automatic white balance system produces a very strong orange color cast in response to the background incandescent lighting. Though the red tones appear oversaturated, color saturation elsewhere looks pretty good. We detected a pixelated effect around the middle bright red flower, particularly along the outside lines of the petals which line the blue flowers.
