Friday, May 13, 2011 – Recently I have noticed noise artifacts at low ISO (400 and 200) and thought to myself this should not be. After doing some research online I found a blog that suggested if “Highlight tone priority” was enabled under the menu setting C.FN II-3 that noise would increase in the shadow areas. I have since disabled this and also “Auto Lighting
Optimizer” under menu setting C.FN II-4 from 0: Standard to 3: Disable after reading the manual. I took a couple of test shots, loaded them onto my computer, and still the images are noisy shooting at ISO 400.
This was all brought about after critique on Wednesday night after I saw my noisy image of Heitor at Lowers Pro. I printed a 14×11 image of him and it was terrible. Since then I have contacted Canon Support and have turned my camera in today for inspection. I hope it doesn’t cost me anything more than what I already paid…That being said if it does then I have no choice except to pay.
Keep reading as I have come up with some new projects for myself that I am very excited about. More to come on that. Also if you have a website, blog, anything online and want me to post a link please send it my way and I will happily post it in a blog post and on twitter. Take care all and have a great weekend!!
