NOISE REDUCTION

This function reduces the noise that is generated during long exposures.

When shooting night scenes, shutter speeds become slower and noise tends

to appear on images. When noise reduction is set to ON, the camera

automatically reduces noise to produce clearer images. However, shooting

time is approximately twice as long as usual.

Noise reduction can only be used when the shutter speed is set slower than

1 sec.

In the top menu, select MODE

REDUCTION

ON or OFF, and

press

“How to use the menus” (P.33)

• Press

again to exit the menu.

• Noise reduction is enabled in the

mode.

• When noise reduction is set to ON, the camera implements noise-

reducing processes after each shot to produce clearer images.

However, shooting time is over twice as long as usual. During this

time, the next shot cannot be taken.

• When noise reduction is set to ON, sequential shooting (

BKT

) are not possible.

• This function may not work effectively with some shooting conditions

or subjects.

• Use of a tripod is recommended for slow shutter speeds.
