Noise Reduction
Photographs taken at high sensitivities or at shutter speeds of eight soconds or slower can
be processed to reduce “noise” in the form of mottling or randomly-spaced, brightly-
colored pixels. Choose from the following options.
Off (default setting)
Noise reduction turns off at ISO sensitivities of 800 or less. Minimal noise reduction is
still performed at ISO sensitivities over 800.
On
Photographs taken at ISO sensitivities over ISO 400 or at shutter speeds of about eight
seconds or slower are processed to reduce noise. In continuous release mode, frame
rates will slow and the capacity of the memory buffer will drop. (At shutter speeds of
eight seconds or slower, job nr will blink at the bottom of the viewfinder for a
period of time approximately equal to the current shutter speed. New photographs
can be taken when job nr is no longer displayed. Noise reduction will not be
performed if the camera is turned off while job nr is blinking in the viewfinder
before processing is complete.)
