I’ve taken the liberty of making NoiseNinja noise profiles for the Lumix LX3. Here are the setup details:
- Tripod (anti-shake turned off)
- f/4.0
- Telephoto to minimize barrel distortion
- In-camera Noise Reduction set to -2 (lowest)
- Everything else was set to the defaults.
- 7 ISO settings (80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200)
- 4 MP variations – each with 3 individual aspect ratios.
RAW(approx 10MP)- 4:3 – 10MP
- 3:2 – 9.5MP
- 16:9 – 9MP
- JPG – maximum resolution (same as
RAW)- 4:3 – 10MP
- 3:2 – 9.5MP
- 16:9 – 9MP
- JPG – next biggest resolution (approx 6MP)
- 4:3 – 7MP
- 3:2 – 6.5MP
- 16:9 – 6MP
- JPG – biggest possible resolution which allows maximum digital zoom (approx 3MP)
- 4:3 – 3MP
- 3:2 – 3MP
- 16:9 – 2.5MP
So that’s 7 ISO increments available to each of the 3 aspect ratios; Which in turn, gives us 21 profiles for each of the 4 megapixel choices I’ve profiled. That’s a total of 84 profiles! Download links for the profiles are available at the end of the post.
