Changing the noise reduction setting
When you set the shutter speed to a second or longer (Long exposure
shooting), noise reduction is turned on for the same duration that the shutter
is open.
This is to reduce the grainy noise typical in a long exposure. When noise
reduction is in progress, a message appears and you cannot take another
picture. Select [On] to prioritize the image quality. Select [Off] to prioritize
the timing of shooting.
MENU button t 3 t [Long Exposure NR] t [Off]
Notes
• When the exposure mode is set to Sweep Panorama, Continuous Advance Priority
AE, or continuous shooting, continuous bracketing, [Hand-held Twilight] in Scene
Selection, or ISO is set to [Multi Frame NR], noise reduction is not performed even
when it is set to [On].
• When the exposure mode is set to AUTO, AUTO+ or Scene Selection, you cannot
turn off noise reduction.
The camera reduces the noise that becomes more noticeable when the
camera sensitivity is high.
Select [Auto] to prioritize the image quality. Select [Weak] to prioritize the
timing of shooting.

Selection, this item is set to [Weak].
