$ Noise
While shooting at slow shutter speeds, noise may appear on screen. These phenomena 
occur when the temperature rises in the image pickup device or image pickup device internal 
drive circuit, causing current to be generated in those sections of the image pickup device 
that are not normally exposed to light. This can also occur when shooting with a high ISO 
setting in a high-temperature environment. To reduce this noise, the camera activates the 
noise reduction function. g G Custom Menu T > [Noise Reduct.] (P. 192)
