The first picture taken by Kyocera FineCam SL400R digital camera shows a shot of a Macbeth Color Chart in a room with lighting of 186 Lux. The other picture below shows a shot of the Macbeth Chart in the same room with lighting of 11 Lux.

The black device on the right side of the Macbeth chart is a lightmeter. It measures the amount of light shining on it. The unit ofr light is in terms of Lux.

For a good idea of what the numbers in Lux really means, lets just say that in broad daylight, the lightmeter would show a few thousand Lux, while if you put it under a desk in a room, the lightmeter would read 11 Lux. 186 Lux would be the amount of light in a room with daylight shining through some windows.

My Observations:

-Able to Produce Well-Detailed Pictures in Different Lightings
The 2 pictures are taken in 186 Lux and 11 Lux respectively. 11 Lux is roughly the amount of light under a desk. Yet, the picture taken by the SL400R still looks well-lit and there is no loss of details. This means that the camera is useful for taking pictures in situations where the lighting is dim and the object is close, like during birthday parties.

-Colors are Reproduced Accurately
The colors of the Macbeth color chart are reproduced accurately in this two pictures.
