Custom Setting d4: Long Exp. NR

This option controls whether photographs taken at shutter speeds slower than about ½ s are processed to reduce “noise” (randomly-spaced, brightly-colored pixels that appear at slow shut- ter speeds, particularly in shadows). Highlight d4 Long Exp. NR in the second level of the CSM menu ( 172) and press the multi selector to the right. Press the multi selector up or down to high- light an option, then press to the right to make a selection.

	ture displays. Next photo can be taken when
	is no longer displayed.
