Avoid "Grainy" Photographs: Noise Reduction; The Playback Menu - Nikon COOLPIX 4300 User Manual

Avoiding "Grainy" Photographs: Noise Reduction
At shutter speeds slower than 1/4 sec., "noise" in
the form of randomly-space, brightly-colored
pixels may appear in pictures, particularly in
shadows. To reduce noise at slow shutter speeds,
select On from the noise reduction menu.
Option
On The effect of noise on the recorded image is minimized.
Off Noise reduction is canceled and normal exposure control is used.
Recording Time
Turning noise reduction on more than doubles the amount of time needed to
save pictures to the memory card.
Restrictions on Noise Reduction
Noise reduction cannot be used in combination with BSS (p. 102), Auto
Bracketing (p. 114), or Continuous setting other than Single (p. 100).
Confirming Noise Reduction
While Noise Reduction is in effect and the shutter
speed is below 1/4 sec., an NR icon appears in the
monitor.
