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. In (night portrait) and (night landscape) modes, pictures taken at
slow shutter speeds 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 these modes.

Panorama assist ( ; 28)
Use when taking a series of pictures
that will later be joined to form a single

360 ° virtual-reality image).
• White balance and exposure are fi xed at values for fi rst shot in series.
Exposure compensation, fl ash mode, focus mode, and zoom can not be
changed after fi rst shot.
