It was only after working on this shot for a little bit that I looked at the EXIF data from the image and noticed that the ISO was at 16,000! I was floored. While I was used to good low-light performance from the A7ii, the ability of the A7iii to capture this scene – hand held, no less – at that super high ISO and produce the image as well as it did was astounding to me. Perhaps still as a legacy of growing up shooting film, the concept of shooting usable images with only moderate grain at ISO 16,000 is just jaw-dropping.
