Thanks Guy, from what I've read the camera applies some noise reduction even when the camera is set to NF Off.

Step 1 is that the Exmor sensor does some noise reduction on the sensor before the raw file is made.

Step 2 is that the Oly image chip (or firmware) does some more noise reduction and sharpening to the jpeg file even if all is off or minimised. Oly Viewer 3 does that same noise reduction and sharpening even when none is requested.

Other raw converters do as requested and do not add sharpening and noise reduction when you tell them not to.

Regards..... Guy
