M Noise Reduction
At slow shutter speeds, pictures may be affected by “noise” in the form of randomly-
spaced, brightly-colored dots concentrated in dark parts of the image. Use this
option to reduce noise at slow shutter speeds. Enabling noise reduction increases
the time needed to record pictures after they are shot.
When noise reduction is performed, the x icon is displayed in the monitor during
shooting (
A8).
Q Distortion Control
Correct the distortion. Enabling distortion control reduces the size of the area for
shooting.
At settings other than Off, the icon for the current setting is displayed in the
monitor (
A8).
C
Distortion Control/Converter Display
The icon for distortion control/converter displays ( A8) are as follows.
• Y: Distortion control is set to On, and Wide-angle converter ( A149) is set to None.
• w: Distortion control is set to Off, and Wide-angle converter is set to On.
• x: Both Distortion control and Wide-angle converter are set to On.
• No display: Both Distortion control and Wide-angle converter are set to Off.
a Auto (default setting)
Noise reduction is performed at slow shutter speeds, likely to result in pictures
affected by noise.
When Continuous, BSS, or Multi-shot 16 is selected for Continuous, and when
Auto bracketing is set to any mode other than Off, noise reduction will not be
performed.
M On
Noise reduction is applied to pictures shot at shutter speeds slower than 1/4 s. On is
recommended when shooting at slow shutter speeds.
Only Single or Intvl timer shooting can be selected for Continuous.
Cannot be applied when Auto bracketing is set to modes other than Off.
Q On
Distortion at frame peripheries is corrected (only when the image quality setting
(
A124) is set to Fine, Normal or Basic).
k Off (default setting)
No distortion correction performed.
