There is digital
noise in images.
1)Sensitivity may have been increased automatically for a dark
subject, which increases the chance of digital noise. Use a
light or some other means to illuminate the subject.
2)You may be attempting to shoot in a dark location with
?
(Flash Off) selected, which can increase digital noise and
make images appear coarse. In this case, turn on flash (page
44) or use lights for illumination.
3)Lighting (page 99) may be enabled for snapshots, which can
cause an increase in digital noise. Use a light or some other
means to illuminate the subject.
4)Shooting movies for long periods in areas where temperature
is relatively high can cause digital noise (dots of light) to
appear in the movie image. If this happens, move to a cooler
environment or turn off the camera and allow it to cool down,
which should cause normal operation to resume.
