Noise (bright spots, randomly-spaced bright pixels, fog, or lines) appear in photos

reduced by lowering ISO sensitivity.

the occurrence of bright spots or fog in photos taken at shutter speeds

• Fog and bright spots may indicate that the camera’s internal

temperature has become elevated due to high ambient temperatures,
long exposures, or similar causes: turn the camera off and wait for it to
cool before resuming shooting.

• At high ISO sensitivities, lines may appear in photos taken with some

optional flash units; if this occurs, choose a lower value.

• At high ISO sensitivities, including high values selected with auto ISO

sensitivity control, randomly-spaced bright pixels can be reduced by

shooting menu (

0 286, 290).

• At high ISO sensitivities, bright spots, randomly-spaced bright pixels,

fog, or lines may be more noticeable in long exposures, multiple
exposures, and photos taken at high ambient temperatures or with
Active D-Lighting enabled, Flat selected for Set Picture Control
