Some with the 500SE this time. B&W in low light. Ios 800 with that camera is really as an emergency as it sometimes can get too noisy and not look very well either. Had to throw some. Sharpening was set to Soft as the noise came out more grainy that way.
In most other compact cameras it is possible to turn off that undiscreet AF light in the menu. But for the 500SE there is no such option. Very stupid, that forced me long time ago to put some black tape in front of that AF light. Focus without that AF light in low light was not a problem and I seldom found need to refocus because the camera had not locked.
Later this evening I might get out again and take the GRDI, 500SE and Contax TVS Digital with me. Then I'll probably limit the 500SE to iso 400 as 800 sometimes was over the limit for what might be useful. GRDI should be ok at iso 800 and the Contax at Iso 320 or maybe also 400, which is the highest sensitivity for that one. But it is surprisingly good at iso 320 in color. Not like most other equally old cameras with 1/1.8" 5mp ccd.
