Sony RX10 1V

With the exception of star shots I don't see the need to go to "M". I have the RX10 m3 and m4. If you need to lighten or darken the image just be in "P" mode and use the exposure compensation dial. It's so easy and simple. Note: exposure compensation also works in "A" and "S". Any shutter speeds below 1/125 I use a tripod. Why not use the tools your camera has already built into it.

Okay one more thing. It is best to "get the settings right", but there are post processing tricks one can use. Not sure if you shot Raw, if so, you can try DxO Deep Prime and/or Topaz DeNoise. I believe you can download a trial of each for free and see if that helps. Alternatively, if you shoot JPG, is the Sony high ISO noise reduction on?

It is amazing how slow a shutter speed one can use. For the evening foliage scene below I hand held and shot at 1/8 of a second and for the early morning bison I used 1/125 with the Sony RX100 (though this lens has a much larger aperture than your RX10):
Spectacular results ❤️🌀💙🌀❤️

A little post-processing

Thanks Joe! For a little camera, the RX100 can take some nice photos.

[quote=Dickbas]Pam,
From reading your EXIF data in your photo, you were in Manual Mode and had set Shutter Speed to 1/800 sec, F Stop was f6.3, and ISO was 2000. The photo shows an excessive amount of "Color Noise" which is a function of "Underexposure".
I have the RX10 Mk4, and have taught 4 other photographers in our Over 55 Photo Club how to use their RX10 Mk4's, and here are my recommendations:
1.) Your subject was obviously the Pigeon, therefore use Spot Focus Mode, 2.) Widen up your f-stop to F4.0, 3.) Lower your Shutter Speed to 1/125 sec, 4.) adjust ISO downward to around ISO 800, Or, Set your ISO to "Auto".[
Thank you

I don’t know, Pam. I’ve had my RX10mIV for several years and I also think the low light performance stinks. I usually use auto ISO but to help deal with it I have the ISO settings limited to 800. Maybe I need to take the advice of several posters and just use auto everything. I’ll admit those shots turn out nice. However, with no limits on ISO the software seems to use ISO as its first option in dealing with exposure and bumps it to what seems (to me) to be stratospheric heights. So, invariably I jump back into the ISO limits to control it. I know the software engineers at Sony know far more than I do about all the nuances of exposure and such so there’s good reasons for me to stop trying to out think them.
Maybe we both can relax and just try to compose good shots and let the camera do its thing for awhile.
