Here is the full series, with sharpness set to soft , normal , and hard . Here, we show you three versions, all at high resolution, varying only in compression setting. The reflection off the silver dollar confused the exposure system, but we could have compensated by turning up the flash exposure a step or two in manual mode. Excellent color, very good tonal range. Tonal discrimination is maintained down to step 18 of the large gray scale, albeit with a fair bit of noise at that level.
Highlights detail in the gauze is preserved well also.
Resolution is very good, although the behavior is somewhat different vertically and horizontally. Virtually NO color artifacts are visible, and geometric distortion is practically non-existent. The LCD orientation produced final images offset slightly to the top left of what was centered in the display, while the Optical finder was nearly centered vertically, but biased slightly to the right.
