Its present in every image, but is only obvious when the visual effect of the noise is not overwhelmed by the number of photons hitting the sensor. So when we use high ISO, all we are really doing is pushing the sensor and exaggerating the effect of the random noise. On this camera, it comes through as a gentle 'stipple' or grain like effect http://tinyurl.com/3e3pheu here is an example from an earlier camera: Olympus E500 at 1600 ISO http://tinyurl.com/445aaer Any of this make sense?
