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 to produce clearer images.
However, shooting time is approximately twice as long as usual.
During this time, the next shot cannot be taken.
• When noise reduction is set to ON, sequential shooting (

• This function may not work effectively with some shooting conditions
or subjects.
• As the shutter speed is relatively slow, the use of a tripod is recommended.
