I have the K7 - my guess is what you are hearing is the SR mechanism in operation and therefore ok? You could check this by disabling the SR and seeing if you can still hear the noise

Andy - the best thing you can do is use all of the sliders you can, all the while watching the impact this has on your image/s (preferably at 100% or greater zoom). That worked well for me.
Thanks for the info - have had a bit more play and am beginning to see the effects. Have to say that the contrast control effect is very subtle - certainly in preview mode. I guess it might be worth trying a comparison large-size print-out of a high iso image to see how things shape up!Andy - the best thing you can do is use all of the sliders you can, all the while watching the impact this has on your image/s (preferably at 100% or greater zoom).

Some lovely shots there. Thanks for the link. I don't mind some HDR so long as it doesn't look too obvious. I guess when we do a curves or levels lift on the mid-range tones of an image, that is in effect a sort of HDR?

Thanks Smeggy - will definitely have a go. With the NR tools, I can see improvement as soon as I move the Luminance slider, but am not sure what the 'detail' and 'masking' sliders are doing
