Test - MA2 very low light conditions

[Maxwell79]

For those interested in very low light conditions results. Overall I was expecting better from this excellent sensor, maybe here the "size matter"

It’s a 1/2inch sensor that is never going to give you decent low light pictures.

I took this the other night. Thought it came out pretty good considering the sensor.

I agree that looks pretty clear to me.

That looks great. Is this HDR? unedited?

 

[KtW23]

Iso 100, was able to set the shutter to 1.6. It was a 48mp shot no hdr and was edited in lightroom. Should have put that in the first post. Anything above the 1.6 shutter was blurry but it was a very windy day. If you would like I can post the original picture to compare.

Hey KtW23......... your night shot inspired me to go out and grab a set with my MA2 for a side-by-side. Take a look here - sunset-over-south-central-pennsylvania-side-by-sides

All auto, 12, 48 and Smart-HDR. Pano and wide angle as well.

When posting low light experiments please post the ISO used for the specific picture. It is impossible to interpret the results without knowing that.

Can the MA2 produce HDR still photos like M2 ? Apparently not. What software did you use to create the HDR photo in post processing ?

Certainly can....... they call it SMART-HDR.
