This function reduces the noise that is generated during long exposures.

When shooting night scenes, shutter speeds become slower and noise tends

to appear on images. When noise reduction is set to ON, the camera

automatically reduces noise to produce clearer images. However, shooting

time is approximately twice as long as usual.

Noise reduction can only be used when the shutter speed is set slower than

1 sec.
