I received my new 50D today. There are some test images at my flickr account:

Just wondering if Highlight Tone Priority and High ISO Noise Redcution are applied to RAW images. The manual wasn't very clear to

address this.

Page 62, section on RAW

<b> <i> About High ISO speed noise reduction and RAW. </b>

Although High ISO speed noise reduction settings are applied to the recorded images, the images without noise reduction applied are used

during image playback (on the LCD monitor and on a TV screen) or direct printing, (Noise my appear in the images.) Confirm the noise

reduction effects or print noise-reduced images with Digital Photo Pro (provided software). </i>

Thanks for the shots. Is it my failing eyes and/or monitor, or is ISO 1600 about as clean as ISO 100?

 

As i read the manual excerpt, i gather that when viewed on the LCD, hooked directly from camera to television, or direct printing

from camera - noise reduction is not applied. However, the actual image file does have NR applied, and this file can be

downloaded for PP. just my take.

Steve, the image at ISO1600 shows a lot more noise than the one at ISO100! Still, it doesn't look that bad. I'd only like to see some decent available light portrait shots at high ISO.

Interesting shots. I find almost no difference between 1,600 and 100 in the box images, but there is quite a difference if you look at the out-of-focus areas above the box.

No, a RAW file is just RAW data i.e. 14bit of information per pixel which is exactly the ADC output value for each pixel. NR is applied after demosaic in RAW software such as DPP and ACR.

I don't know about the High ISO noise reduction, but highlight tone priority is applied to the RAW image

on the 40D, so I would assume it would also be on the 50D.

It is if you open it in DPP, but you can turn it off or adjust it

Will, did you take the shot of the girl on the swing with the 50D? What lens did you use? That is a sweet shot!

Will,

 

Arash is wrong, Highlight Tone Priority IS applied to RAW files

What girl on the swing. I did take a photo of a girl on a swing but I did not post it here. Where did you see it?

 

Thanks Scott.

Hi Will

 

There are swing photos on the second page of your fickr account!

Ahh, okay. In that case, no Kelly. That was taken with the 1Ds Mark III.
