Noise Reduction

“Noise” in the form of randomly-spaced, brightly-colored pixels tends to appear in pic- tures taken at slow shutter speeds. This effect is particularly noticeable in dark areas of the picture. At settings of Dusk/Dawn and Night landscape, pictures taken at slow shutter speeds are processed to reduce noise, increasing the time needed to process pictures before they are saved.
