11:50 Summary and conclusion
The test 1 and 2 are performed in a room with almost not ambient light. A single off camera flash in TTL mode provides the light through a white umbrella. Pictures are shot using the Nikon D750 on a tripod. The camera is in manual mode at ISO 100 and 1/160th of a second. The subject is four 5 dollar bills and a EUR note (buttom left), all mounted on a white board. Distance between lens and subject approx 1 meter (3 feet). The only post processing done is hitting the "auto" button in Lightroom under the general adjustments and also the option to remove chromatic aberration is checked. Other than this, SOOC.
In test 3 the subject is an iPhone X with the flashlight on, put in a relatively dark room approx 2 meters away from the camera.
Test 4 the subject is a chain of led lights approx 1 meter away from the camera.
