unnatural.
White balance does not match light source. 82
Randomly spaced
bright pixels
(“noise”) appear in
image.
As the subject is dark, shutter speed is too slow or ISO
sensitivity is too high. Noise can be reduced by:
• Using flash.
• Specifying a lower ISO sensitivity setting.
• Applying Noise reduction in the shooting menu to suit
situations.
• Using a scene mode which has noise reduction ability.
