I went with some friends to the Lee Miller exhibition at the Imperial War Museum today - it's a superb exhibition and I recommend it very highly.
I took my Fuji X20 with me because one of my friends has one on my recommendation but couldn't figure out how to set it to black & white only, which is all she's interested in shooting. So before going I set mine up - I normally shoot raw - so I would know what to do, and would look like I knew what I was doing. I took some snaps to see how it all plays out. This is one of them, and I have a question about it. http://www.web-options.com/IWM.jpg If you enlarge it to its full size the 'grain', for want of a better term, is very blobby as if I'd shot it through rippled bathroom glass. I don't think this is noise - the iso was 200 - but it's pretty ugly. I've never noticed anything like this when rendering in b&w from raw. Is this normal for in-camera b&w jpg? Whether it's normal or not, what is the cause?
