FZ200 NR and sharpening - my theory and experiments to date-Part 1

OK I locked settings in manual mode and tried both with and without Iresolution turned on.  See below how the grass is smudged in a lot of places.  Yet the one without it turned on is not smudged.  Then overall the Ires shot is less clear.  I duplicated this on several images and noticed the shutter speed was different so decided to try manual mode to lock in the settings.  My back yard by the way!

Ires on, NR -2, Sharp -2

Ires off, NR-2, Sharp -2
