•The brightness of the screen may vary from the actual pictures recorded. Check the
brightness of pictures using the playback screen.
•The camera automatically removes noise when the shutter speed is slow. Therefore,
[Long shutter noise reduction ongoing] may be displayed.
Although noise reduction requires the same time as the shutter speed for signal
processing, you can take sharp pictures.

When the aperture value is increased, the range of depth in focus expands, and the
picture shows up clearly from the position of the camera to the background. When the
aperture value is reduced, the range of depth in focus shrinks, and the background can
get blurry.
