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
Specify whether or not the distortion is corrected. Enabling distortion control
reduces the size of the frame, as compared to distortion control not being enabled.
At settings other than Off, the icon for the current setting is displayed in the
monitor (
A8).
