Noise Reduction
“ Noise” in the form of randomly-spaced, brightly-colored pixels tends to appear in pic-
tures taken at slow shutter speeds. This effect is particularly noticeable in dark areas of
the picture. At settings of
Dusk / Dawn
and
Night landscape
, pictures taken at slow
shutter speeds are processed to reduce noise (this more than doubles the time needed
to process pictures before they are saved).
Sensitivity ( ISO Equivalency)
When lighting is poor and the fl ash is off, the camera auto-
matically increases sensitivity, permitting faster exposures and
minimizing blur caused by inadvertent camera movement
(camera shake). An
ISO
icon will be displayed to warn that
pictures may be slightly mottled.
