The MagicPix function makes the signal
charging time of CCD up to approximately 8k
longer than usual, so that dark scenes invisible
to the naked eye can be recorded brightly. For
this reason, bright dots that are usually invisible
may be seen, but this is not a malfunction.
The MagicPix function is canceled when you
turn off the power or operate the mode dial.
