The brightness of the image appearing on the LCD monitor
and the recorded image may differ.
The nature of CCD image sensors is such that noise in the
recorded image increases at long shutter speeds. This
camera, however, applies special processing to images shot
at shutter speeds of 1.3 seconds or slower to eliminate the
noise, thereby producing high-quality images. A certain
amount of processing time, however, may be required
before the next image can be shot.
