 Beach/Snow
Captures the brightness of such subjects as snowfi elds, 
beaches, or sunlit expanses of water.
  Noise Reduction
“ Noise” in the form of randomly-spaced, brightly-colored pixels tends to appear in pic-
tures taken at slow shutter speeds.  This effect is particularly noticeable in dark areas of 
the picture.  At settings of Dusk / Dawn and Night landscape, pictures taken at slow 
shutter speeds are processed to reduce noise, increasing the time needed to process 
pictures before they are saved.
* Other modes can be selected.
 Sunset
Preserves the deep hues seen in sunsets and sunrises.
