Noise Reduction Filter
Set the strength of the noise reduction function that is normally performed when
recording the picture.
• For noise at slow shutter speeds, set with Long exposure NR (A103).
The setting for the noise reduction filter is shown by an icon displayed on the
monitor during shooting (A6). Nothing is displayed for Normal.
Long Exposure NR
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.
When long exposure NR is performed, the j icon is displayed on the monitor
during shooting (A6).
C Note on Long Exposure NR
This feature cannot be used simultaneously with certain features. See “Functions that Cannot be
Applied Simultaneously” (A108) for more information.
