Smaller sensors with higher megapixel counts tend to create noisier images. The size of the sensor and the physical size of the pixels recording the light on the sensor also contribute to image noise. Images shot in lower light tend to be noisier due to the high ISOs used in these scenes. As you increase the ISO on a camera sensor, the chance of random errors being recorded also increases. As you increase the gain on an amplifier, the sound gets louder, but any errors or unwanted sounds also get amplified. This is because the ISO setting works a bit like the gain on an amplifier. As a general rule and all else being equal, the higher the ISO, the noisier the image will be. The first of these is the ISO setting of your camera. The above image is with all these defaults disabled.īoth types of noise appear in some form in all digital images, however there are a number of factors which can cause increased noise. Note that most RAW processors including Lightroom apply some level of noise reduction and sharpening by default. Unedited 100% crop, 6400 ISO, no noise reduction applied. You can see both types of noise in the below image. The former appears as colored speckles and the latter appears as a grainy effect. There are two types of noise in digital photography, color noise and luminance noise. Noise appears as random color or brightness variations across an image, which can give it a grainy or splotched appearance on close inspection.
