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
1/2 sec.

• When noise reduction is set to ON, the camera implements noise-reducing
processes after each shot. For this reason, shooting time is approximately
twice as long as usual. During this time, you cannot continue shooting.
