Long exposure makes noise conspicuous. When the shutter speed is one second or slower, 
noise reduction is activated to reduce the grainy noise that is common in long exposures.
• Noise reduction is not performed on continuous shooting or continuous bracketing even when it is set to 
[On].
When the camera sensitivity is set high, noise in the pictures tends to become more noticeable. 
When the ISO is set to 1600 or above, High ISO noise reduction is automatically activated to 
lower the noise.
• When [High] is selected, the speed of continuous shooting becomes approx. 3.5 images/sec.
Long exp.NR
On
When a long exposure of one second or longer takes place, 
the noise reduction process is performed for the duration that 
the shutter was open. While the noise reduction is being 
performed, the message “Processing...” appears on the LCD 
monitor. You cannot take the next picture until the process is 
over.
Off
This mode does not perform noise reduction. This is suitable 
when timing of shooting takes precedence. However, this 
makes the noise more conspicuous. It is recommended that 
you activate the noise reduction if you use long exposure.
High ISO NR
