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, pic-
tures taken at slow shutter speeds are processed to reduce noise (this more than dou-
bles the time needed to process pictures before they are saved to the memory card).
