Noise in images
During shooting at slow shutter speeds, noise may appear on-screen. These phenomena are
caused when current is generated in those sections of the image pickup device that are not
normally exposed to light, resulting in a rise in temperature in the image pickup device or image
pickup device drive circuit. This can also occur when shooting with a high ISO setting in a high-
temperature environment. To reduce this noise, the camera activates the noise reduction
function.
g“Noise reduction” (P. 67)
The picture looks blurred:
j The use of a monopod or tripod is recommended when taking a picture at slow shutter speed.
j When the shutter speed is slow, camera shake is more likely to occur. You can reduce camera shake
by using the image stabilizer.
g“Image stabilizer” (P. 58)
To change the exposure adjustment interval:
j This can be set in 1/3 EV, 1/2 EV or 1 EV increments. g“EV STEP” (P. 92)
