The following are screenshots of Casio EX-H35 at each sensitivity of 100. From the picture below, we can analyze the sensitivity performance of EX-H35.

▲The aperture performance of Casio EX-H35 at various apertures

Casio EX-H35 starts to appear slightly grainy from ISO200, and the noise increases significantly at ISO400, and the picture details are sharp. There is a certain loss in degree. When the sensitivity reaches ISO800, the color of the picture will deviate. It is recommended that this gear should be used in time. Moreover, above ISO1600, the image quality loss is more serious. It is recommended not to use gears above ISO1600 as much as possible. Therefore, the highest sensitivity that Casio EX-H35 can accept is ISO200.

Color reproduction test

The following scene is the standard test environment for color reproduction in the IT168 evaluation room. By shooting the color card standard version, we can analyze the color tendency and color reproduction degree of Casio EX-H35.

▲Photography target board

The picture below reflects the difference between the actual imaging color value and the ideal value when using Casio EX-H35. The part surrounded by gray lines in the picture is the color gamut range of Casio EX-H35 (exceeding the sRGB color gamut 27.7). The square color blocks in the test picture are the ideal color values, while the round color blocks are the actual shooting values.
