Noise Reduction

Auto*—

† Macro close-up mode can be selected.

Randomly-spaced, brightly-colored pixels (“noise”) tend to appear in pictures taken at slow shutter speeds. In night portrait, night landscape, and dusk/dawn modes, pictures taken at speeds slower than ¼ s are processed to reduce noise, more than doubling processing time. NR is displayed when noise reduction is in effect.
