At slow shutter speeds, pictures may be affected by “noise” in the form of randomly- spaced, brightly-colored dots concentrated in dark parts of the image. Reduce noise at slow shutter speeds. Enabling long exposure NR increases the time needed to record pictures after they are shot.

aAuto (default setting)

Noise reduction is performed at slow shutter speeds that are likely to result in pictures affected by noise.

mOn

Noise reduction is applied to pictures shot at shutter speeds of 1/4 second or slower. Switching this to On is recommended when shooting at slow shutter speeds.

When long exposure NR is performed, the jicon is displayed on the monitor during shooting (A6).
