Noise Reduction

“Noise” in the form of randomly-spaced, brightly-colored pixels tends to ap- pear in pictures taken at slow shutter speeds. This effect is particularly notice- able in dark areas of the picture. At settings of Night Portrait and Night Landscape, pictures taken at slow shutter speeds are processed to reduce noise before being saved to the memory card. As result, more time is required to save pictures to the memory card.
