Hi,

I took this picture from my "Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II" in evening in a room. image quality is so grainy and bad. what caused that?
please suggest, how to take good quality photo in a room or low light.

That was caused by the low light it the room. The brighter outside did hot help. Looking at the noise in the light areas, it appears the ISO was very high. Lower ISO and a longer exposure can help. Fill flash would be even better. Or a lamp on the room. Making the room lighter does help. If processing you then lower it to the level you want. Taking multiple shots and stacking them will also work. With an Olympus camera you can overexpose up to 2 stops (via aperture or shutter, not ISO) to clean up the shadows and recover the highlights. Exposure, ISO, light are the best ways to improve this. Which you use or what combination of things you use is up to you. Even then, post processing is the final step to this. Noise removal in camera would not help this photo as it would make it more watercolor light. I would start with Maximum Aperture and low ISO (fixed not auto or limit the auto) with a slower shutter when shooting or fill flash. Then the main thing is to balance the noise and detail in port processing. I would like to see your processed version of this as it could be better although not great. Olympus workspace is free and works very good for processing a photo like this. Shooting RAW and processing your photos is the easiest thing to do if you are new to this. A jpg out of the camera makes it much harder to fix this. There is a place for jpgs. If this is the type of shots you want to take, jpgs are not the best to fix this. Perhaps take a RAW of a similar photo and send it in to Rob's live stream and see how he improves it. You can learn a lot that way. He will also review your cameras settings and make suggestions. All of these involve taking control of your camera and I am not sure how you use our camera. Maybe if you tell us the setting on camera as you took this will we can help better. Rob may read this and have better ideas. If I knew your starting point, I may give more specific help. Still it varies with every situation so the best thing is learn more about taking control of your camera to get what you want. You are smarter than the camera.
