Sony a7RII FW 2.0 raw dark-field histograms, ISO 100-1600

November 21, 2015 JimK 1 Comment

A few days ago I posted dark-field histograms from uncompressed files made with version 2 firmware running on the Sony a7II. Yesterday, I posted compressed and uncompressed read noise and engineering dynamic range plots for the a7RII running version 2 firmware.

Today’s post is of dark-field histograms from the a7RII, both compressed and uncompressed. The low-ISO ones are unsurprising. Nevertheless, I’ll post them here for the record.
