Description

Noise reduction takes effect at ISO sensitivities of ISO 400–800 or if ISO sensitivity is raised to 400 or higher when On is selected for Custom Setting b1 (ISO auto), increasing processing time and reducing capac- ity of memory buffer. Increased noise reduction is performed at ISO sensitivities over ISO 800 or when On (high) is selected.

Noise reduction turns off except at ISO sensitivities over ISO 800.

ISO Sensitivity

ISO sensitivity can be increased from the default value (100). Settings over ISO 800 are only avail- able when Custom Setting b1 (ISO auto) is off. See “Taking Photographs: ISO Sensitivity” ( 52).
