• The exposure level indicator appears on the control panel screen, showing the difference
(ranging from –3 EV to +3 EV) between the exposure value calculated by the currently
selected aperture and shutter speed compared to the exposure value considered optimum by
the camera.
Noise in images
During shooting at slow shutter speeds, noise may appear on-screen. These phenomena are
caused when current is generated in those sections of the image pickup device that are not
normally exposed to light, resulting in a rise in temperature in the image pickup device or image
pickup device drive circuit. This can also occur when shooting with a high ISO setting in an
environment exposed to heat. To reduce this noise, the camera activates the noise reduction
function.
