grass_nik5700.jpg

Here is a picture I took using the Nikon Coolpix 5700 digital camera. This picture has some parts which is under bright sunlight while other areas are in shadows. Overall, the colors of the grass in this picture looks fresh and vibrant. The settings used are aperture size of f6.3, shuttle speed of 1/218 sec and ISo rating of 100. These settings are well chosen by the camera. Compared to the same picture taken by the DigiCam ES3310 digital camera, this picture is much better in terms of quality. Both pictures were taken under the same lighting conditions and they both uses the same ISO rating of 100. The only difference is that the ES3310 used a faster exposure time and a larger aperture size compared to the picture taken by 5700.

The sky of this picture also looks more real than the one taken by ES3310. However, there is a curious artifact in region marked by red rectangle. If you look closely, you will find a thick purple fringe along the tree trunk. It can also be seen in the image below. This artifact is probably introduced by the camera processing unit. Fortunately, it is obscured among the trees and not noticeable. However, there could be situations next time when the artifact may appear in prominent areas of the picture, making the picture look bad.
