Beach/Snow
Captures the brightness of such subjects as snowfi elds,
beaches, or sunlit expanses of water.
Noise Reduction
“ Noise” in the form of randomly-spaced, brightly-colored pixels tends to appear in pic-
tures taken at slow shutter speeds. This effect is particularly noticeable in dark areas of
the picture. At settings of Dusk / Dawn and Night landscape, pictures taken at slow
shutter speeds are processed to reduce noise, increasing the time needed to process
pictures before they are saved.
* Other modes can be selected.
Sunset
Preserves the deep hues seen in sunsets and sunrises.
