High ISO Noise Reduction: Camera Settings and Lightroom Classic RAW Workflow
Explain the High ISO NR options and RAW limitations of the Sony DSC-RX10M5, as well as the operation of Lightroom Classic Denoise and the currently supported formats; do not promote a single camera model setting or mistakenly apply Raw Details output instructions.
High ISO Noise Reduction Options Vary by Model
The Sony DSC-RX10M5 help guide explains that High ISO NR is used to reduce more noticeable noise at high ISO levels and offers Normal, Low, and Off options. This menu and description only apply to the RX10M5; for other models, please refer to their respective manuals. [G-HI-01]
Confirm Whether In-Camera Settings Apply to RAW
The Sony DSC-RX10M5 help guide notes that High ISO NR is unavailable when File Format is set to RAW; when set to RAW & JPEG or RAW & HEIF, this function also does not apply to RAW images. Do not apply the RX10M5's file format limitations to other cameras. [G-HI-02]
Using Denoise in Lightroom Classic
Adobe Lightroom Classic allows you to select Denoise in the Detail panel and adjust the strength using a slider. Adobe recommends applying Denoise before using other tools such as AI masks or Remove. Adobe describes it as using AI to reduce noise while preserving details as much as possible; supported formats include Bayer / X-Trans mosaic RAW, linear DNG, DNG Smart Proxies, and other specified formats. Always check the current list before use. This page explains Denoise operations and applicable formats and should not interpret the output formats of Raw Details as conclusions for Denoise.

Verify Workflow by File Format and Version
In-camera High ISO NR is a shooting setting specific to a particular camera; Lightroom Classic Denoise is subject to Adobe’s list of supported formats. Before processing, check the current model manual and the current software-supported formats separately, and do not assume that RAW files from different cameras or all non-RAW files are suitable for the same processing workflow.
