Once again the differences are fairly subtle, but the version taken with Handheld Night Shot is definitely cleaner with less noise and crisper, more saturated images. Here the FZ150’s Handheld Night Shot automatically selected 800 ISO, and once again I was able to match the exposure and framing perfectly in Program mode. Not ideal I agree, but you still get the idea. Unfortunately the metal bolt / rivet heads were not in the depth of field, so I’ve had to concentrate on the wooden textures and the half-toned printed material. I compromised by shooting this heavy wooden table at a relatively dim bar with a printed flyer.

Panasonic Lumix FZ150: Handheld Night Shot versus Program mode (at 800 ISO)įor this second example, I struggled to find a composition which was both dark enough to force a higher ISO in automatic and sufficiently detailed to give some meaningful results. Now scroll down for another comparison, this time at 800 ISO. It’s certainly visible if you look, but not massively. It also does this without smearing-out any of the fine detail, so it’s a win-win for static subjects.īut compared to other composite noise reduction modes I’ve tested, the benefit is fairly subtle here.
Look closely at the crops and you’ll see the composite shot contains a little less noise and fewer ragged edges than the single shot in Program – this is most evident in the first and second crops.
In this first example, the FZ150’s Handheld Night Shot mode automatically selected 400 ISO. In order to give the camera some latitude for shake during capture, the Handheld Night Shot mode slightly crops the view, so when taking the corresponding shot in program, I zoomed-in a fraction to match the view recorded. Like other models, the sensitivity and exposure are fully automatic, so to make a comparison with a single shot exposure here, I first took the scene in the Handheld Night Shot mode, before matching the settings in Program. Panasonic calls this Handheld Night Shot, and strangely buries it as a sub-option of the Night Portrait scene preset. The Panasonic Lumix FZ150, like many cameras these days, offers a composite shooting mode which captures a quick burst of images before combining them into one to reduce noise.
