You can reduce the effect somewhat by decreasing the EV compensation, which appears to only affect the ambient lighting. Here are samples shot with the EV setting turned down 2 steps and turned down 4 steps . Overall though, given the exceptional light sensitivity the QV-5000 shares with its predecessors, you're probably better off just shooting with available light. Reasonable detail, very bright and open, excellent cast correction. Curiously, it left much more of the yellow cast from the tungsten lighting in the image.
Color is good, with a slight yellowish cast, and slight under-saturation in the greens and blues.
We shot this image at the largest image size of the camera, in all compression modes, so you can see how the different compression settings affect final image quality. This is the second of the new shots we mentioned above. It is shot at infinity to test far-field lens performance. In general though, you can evaluate detail in the bricks, shingles, and window detail, and in the tree branches against the sky. Color in this sunlit outdoor shot was excellent, detail good to very good.
