Noise Reduction

“Noise” in the form of randomly-spaced, brightly-colored pixels tends to appear in pictures taken at slow shutter speeds. This effect is particularly noticeable in dark areas of the picture. At a setting of Night Portrait and Night Landscape, pictures taken at shutter speeds of 1/4 sec. or slower are processed to reduce noise (note that this increases the time needed to process pictures before they are saved to the memory card). NR is displayed when noise reduction is in effect.
