Now I just did that and I'm sorry guys the blacks are black and no little lightness, flare whatever showing any where. OK I'll get this image back on the screen and see what that looks like. OK so at 200% there isn't any noise, trust me it's just black, well Ok it probably could do with a little shot of contrast. But nothing appears to be breaking down with any kind of lightening effect happening in the blacks. And at 600 I'm now into the pixels and it doesn't matter because they all look like little squares of varying shades of grey and black. So either this camera has some magic in it or it has some kind of "software?" doing something that nobody has been told about. ted
