Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX30 corner sharpness comparison
|
 |
|
To measure and compare the Panasonic Lumix FX30's corner sharpness we photographed the Enhanced Digital Camera
Resolution Chart with it and a number of rival models, each using their
best quality JPEG and default image tone and sharpening settings.
We used the built-in lenses at their widest and longest focal lengths and
with various apertures starting from fully open. Note the Panasonic FX30 only offers two aperture settings at each focal length, so both are shown in this test.
The crops are taken from
the extreme lower left corner of the chart and presented here at 100%. |
Zoomed-out to wide angle, the Lumix FX30 delivers pretty sharp results in its corners at both of its aperture settings, although some coloured fringing is quite apparent in the crops below. Note this chart is photographed at close range though and when the FX30 is focused at more typical distances, fringing no longer becomes an issue - see our other results and sample images.
Zoomed-into telephoto, the coloured fringing disappears in this test, but the contrast suffers with quite a soft-looking result in the extreme corners. To see how the FX30's corner performance measures-up with real-life subjects, be sure to check our sample images page.
Note: crop details which appear smaller here are
due to them being captured with lower resolution cameras and / or a lens
which couldn't focus as close to the chart. In each case though, the crop
still represents the extreme left corner of each camera's frame. |
