Noise (bright spots, randomly-spaced bright pixels, fog, or lines) appear in photos

Bright spots, randomly-spaced bright pixels, fog, and lines can be

reduced by lowering ISO sensitivity.

Use the Long exposure NR option in the photo shooting menu to limit

the occurrence of bright spots or fog in photos taken at shutter speeds
slower than 1 s (

0 286).

Fog and bright spots may indicate that the camera’s internal

temperature has become elevated due to high ambient temperatures,
long exposures, or similar causes: turn the camera off and wait for it to
cool before resuming shooting.

At high ISO sensitivities, lines may appear in photos taken with some

optional flash units; if this occurs, choose a lower value.

At high ISO sensitivities, including high values selected with auto ISO

sensitivity control, randomly-spaced bright pixels can be reduced by
selecting High, Normal, or Low for High ISO NR in the photo or movie
shooting menu (

0 286, 290).

At high ISO sensitivities, bright spots, randomly-spaced bright pixels,

fog, or lines may be more noticeable in long exposures, multiple
exposures, and photos taken at high ambient temperatures or with
Active D-Lighting enabled, Flat selected for Set Picture Control
(

0 180) or extreme values selected for Picture Control parameters

(

0 183).
