Noise Reduction
“Noise” in the form of randomly-spaced, brightly-colored pixels tends to ap-
pear in pictures taken at slow shutter speeds. This effect is particularly notice-
able in dark areas of the picture. At settings of Night Portrait and Night
Landscape, pictures taken at slow shutter speeds are processed to reduce
noise before being saved to the memory card. As result, more time is required
to save pictures to the memory card.
Vividly captures the brightness of such subjects as snow-
fields, beaches, or sunlight expanses of water.
