Canon EOS R50 V read noise vs ISO
The Canon EOS R50 V was measured at 26 ISO settings from ISO 100 to ISO 32000. This model has no measurement of its own; the Canon EOS R50, which uses the same sensor, is shown.
At base ISO (100) read noise is 1.99 DN, or 4.3 electrons at the sensor. From ISO 6400 up the camera is effectively ISO-invariant: raising ISO further doesn't meaningfully lower shadow noise. Full well at base ISO is about 34,577 electrons; unity gain is around ISO 220.
