Noise Reduction
“ Noise” in the form of randomly-spaced, brightly-colored pixels tends to appear in
pictures taken at slow shutter speeds. This effect is particularly noticeable in dark areas
of the picture. At settings of Night portrait, Night landscape, and Dusk/Dawn,
pictures taken at shutter speeds of about ¼ s or slower are processed to reduce noise
(this more than doubles the time needed to process pictures before they are saved to
the memory card). NR is displayed in the monitor when noise reduction is in effect.
