Noise in pictures

[Shamim Azam]

If it is happening with every picture then it may be a sensor issue.

Yesterday had been to a Sony centre in bangalore for gear cleaning.Also i told them about my issue wherein they tried telling that it should be because of certain profile settings and they did a reset on that. But still it remains the same.

Is there any procedure to check myself if it is particularly because of the sensor issue

Hello I have one suggestion that go and try with other 7m3 camera too

As we don’t know that problem is with your gear or lighting issue

Put both camera in same setting,same lightning and same lens

It will clear that is your gear faulty or not

Yeah I can give a try on that but i need to check the availability of another Alpha 7iii Body

Is this image a crop of the actual shot?

[Shashin Jain]

I have attached the cropped one now.Let me know if there’s a way to upload Raw file for a better review.

You can post a link to your raw file. However, what I wanted to arrive at was that when you crop an image specially on 24 MP sensor of A7iii, we are not just zooming in on to the subject but also the noise. The grains can come in the image if the camera brightened the background for a better exposure. And by cropping we only magnify those. You should try the camera in different lighting conditions with more pictures and see how it behaves.

Can you check now ..I have made it public

Thanks! Looked at your images and to me they look fine. Dark backgrounds can bring noise in images. The image in question was shot at ISO 1000 and looks decent without the extreme crop. Cropping magnifies the grain. What you can try is ETTR and see if that is any better. Otherwise the images are great and nothing to stress about. 🙂

Thanks for taking time and letting me know your feedback. I ll take your inputs and try shooting with the ETTR technique. That was really helpful!

Also i would really appreciate if you could suggest any inputs to be followed in order to keep the noise down when the light is low.
