Cautions for Setting Multi Shot Noise Reduction

If there is significant misalignment in the image due to camera shake, the noise reduction effect may be minimal.

If you are handholding the camera, keep it steady to prevent camera shake. Using a tripod is recommended.

If you shoot a moving subject, the subject’s movement may leave afterimages or the surrounding area of the subject may become dark. The image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns (lattice, stripes, etc.) or flat, single-tone images.

Recording the image to the card will take longer than with normal shooting. During the processing of the images, “buSY” will be displayed in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel and you cannot take another picture until the processing is completed.

RAW images cannot be selected. You cannot use AEB and WB bracketing. [z4: Long exp. noise reduction], [z4: Dust Delete Data], [z4: Multiple exposure], and [z4: HDR Mode] cannot be set. If any of these has already been selected or set, [Multi Shot Noise Reduction] cannot be set.

Flash shooting is not possible. The AF-assist beam will be emitted according to the [8C.Fn II-5:AF-assist beam firing] setting. You cannot set [Multi Shot Noise Reduction] for bulb exposures. If you turn off the power, change the shooting mode to a Basic Zone mode or bulb, or switch to movie shooting, the setting will automatically switch to [Standard].

Direct printing is not possible (p.346).

If you play back a 1image with the camera or print an image directly, the effect of the high ISO speed noise reduction may look minimal. Check the noise reduction effect or print noise-reduced images with Digital Photo Professional (provided software, p.456).
