Advanced shooting functions
Reducing picture noise (NOISE REDUCTION)
When shooting in dark places, shutter speeds become slower as there is
less light focused on the CCD. During long exposures, signals are
generated by parts of the CCD where no light is focused and are recorded
on the picture as noise. When [NOISE REDUCTION] is set to [ON], the
camera automatically reduces this noise to produce clearer pictures.
The purpose of these pictures is to illustrate the effects of noise reduction. They are
not actual pictures taken with this camera.

ON OFF
Noise is reduced. Shooting time takes
twice as long as usual. Noise reduction
can only be used when the shutter
speed is slower than 1/2 sec.
Noise is not reduced. Noise may be
conspicuous at slow shutter speeds.
Note
• When [NOISE REDUCTION] is set to [ON], the camera implements noise-
reducing processes after each shot. For this reason, shooting time is
approximately twice as long as usual. During this time, the next picture cannot
be taken.
• This function may not work effectively with some shooting conditions or
subjects.
