Shooting a Night Scene (Noise
Reduction)
Shooting a night scene at a slow shutter speed to increase exposure time could cause
noise in the photo image. When you need to increase the exposure time, set the camera
in the noise reduction mode to reduce noise and achieve a more attractive image.
The noise reduction function operates only when you
are shooting with the shutter speed set slower than
1/2 sec. or in the bulb shooting mode (
➞
76).
Noise Reduct (Noise Reduction Mode) (
➞
115)
Note
• In the noise reduction mode, the burst mode cannot be used.
• In the noise reduction mode, you cannot take a picture while the memory gauge is displayed in the
control panel.
• The noise reduction function may not work effectively depending on the shooting condition or
subject.
• Close the eyepiece shutter (
➞
35) to prevent light from entering through the viewfinder when
shooting with a long exposure time.
• It takes about one minute to remove the noise from the shot image after the shutter is closed.
Increasing exposure time could
cause noise.
Noise reduction mode can reduce
noise.
