Noise Reduction

When you use a digital camera to shoot with a long exposure or high sensitivity setting, image noise (image roughness or unevenness) becomes noticeable.

You can reduce image noise by using Noise Reduction. Images shot with Noise Reduction take longer to save.

Slow Shutter Speed NR

Reduces noise during long exposures.

Select from [On] or [Off] for [10. Slow Shutter Speed NR] in the [A Custom Setting] menu (p.75).

High-ISO Noise Reduction

Reduces noise at high sensitivity (ISO) settings.

Select from [Off], [Weakest], [Weak], or [Strong] for [11. High-ISO Noise Reduction] in the [A Custom Setting] menu (p.75).
