• Using slow shutter speeds can cause digital noise to |
appear in the image. Because of this, the camera performs |
a noise reduction process automatically whenever the |
shutter speed is 1/4 second or slower. The slower the |
shutter speed, the greater the possibility that noise will be |
generated in an image. Because of the time required for |
noise reduction, it takes longer to record images shot at |
slower shutter speeds. Do not perform any key operation |
while an image recording operation is in progress. |
• At shutter speeds slower than 1/2 second, the brightness of |
the recorded image may not be the same as the brightness |
of the image that appears on the monitor screen. |
• Image Blur (page 137) is disabled during in the shutter |
