What Happens?

Noise on a 1Ds MKIII? At 3200 you see a bit of "grain" but it looks more like film grain than the red and blue stuff you see when I shoot my D200 at 1600. Use some NR software and then sharpen and pretty much every image should be near noise free.

What is "NR" softare?

NR Software is Noise Reduction Software. My preference is a plugin for Adobe Photoshop called "Noise Ninja." It will get rid of noise in your image at the expense of some sharpness. If you select only high noise areas and run these with the software you will end up with a virtually noise free image. Note that you only use this software if you have noticable noise, if not there's no point.
