The subject is dark, and the shutter speed is too slow or
ISO sensitivity is too high. Noise can be reduced by:
• Using the flash.
• Specifying a lower ISO sensitivity setting.
When shooting at a slow shutter speed in multiple
exposure mode, noise (bright spots) may appear in
saved images.
• The flash window is blocked.
• The subject is beyond the range of the flash.
• Adjust exposure compensation.
• Increase ISO sensitivity.
• The subject is backlit. Raise the flash or select the
scene mode Backlighting and try taking an image
again.
