Hi all
So I recently tested the new "ISO 3200" mode of the UM Pro. I was hoping, that in this update the noise will be handled better, but no, it was the same.
The vertical FPN is as present as ever, and of course far more visible now at 3200, than it was before at 1600. Of course, that is to be expected - the 3200 mode is just there if you really need it, no one expects it to be clean.
My observation though, revealed that even at ISO 1600, this new update does not improve anything noise-wise - the FPN is exactly the same.
Even more, there is one thing that really bothers me. At the 3200 ISO mode, the sensor exhibits an odd "Snowflakes" pattern - small white dots, that appear anywhere over a black background.
I am attaching 2 pics - one with added contrast and one regular "out of the cam" .
The pic out of the cam shows the usual FPN, but when I added contrast, I got these snowflakes...
