There are several factors that can cause the picture to appear grainy.
Using the digital zoom to take close-up pictures
• With the digital zoom, part of the image is cropped and enlarged. The greater the
magnification, the grainier the picture appears.
Increasing the ISO sensitivity
• When you increase the [ISO] setting, “noise”, which appears as spots of unwanted color
or unevenness in the color, can be introduced and give the picture a grainy appearance.
This camera is equipped with a function to allow shooting at high sensitivity while
suppressing noise; however, increasing the ISO sensitivity can result in some noise,
depending on the shooting conditions.
