3Setting Noise ReductionN

When [Multi Shot Noise Reduction] is Set

If you are handholding the camera, keep it steady to prevent camera shake. If there is significant misalignment in the image due to camera shake, or if you are shooting a moving subject, the noise reduction effect may be minimal. Using a tripod is recommended.

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 and you cannot take another picture until the processing is completed. 1+73 or 1 cannot be selected. AEB shooting and WB bracketing cannot be used. [z3: Long exp. noise reduction] 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 [54: Custom Functions (C.Fn)]’s [4: 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, shoot a bulb exposure, or shoot a movie, the setting will automatically be changed to [Standard].

[z3: Dust Delete Data] cannot be set. Direct printing (p.282) is not possible.

If you play back or directly print a 1+73 or 1 image with the camera, 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.366).

Long Exposure Noise Reduction

Noise reduction is possible with images exposed for 1 sec. or longer.
