J Flash Exp. Comp.

Flash compensation is used to adjust flash output by ±2.0 EV in increments of
1/3 EV, changing the brightness of the main subject relative to the background.
-0.3 - -2.0
Flash output is reduced from -0.3 to -2.0 EV, in increments of 1/3 EV, to prevent
unwanted highlights or reflections.
0 (default setting)
Flash output is not adjusted.
+0.3 - +2.0
Flash output is increased from +0.3 to +2.0 EV, in increments of 1/3 EV, to make the
main subject of the frame appear brighter.
At settings other than [0], the icon for the current setting is displayed in the
monitor during shooting (A 6).

M Noise Reduction

At slow shutter speeds, pictures may be affected by "noise" in the form of
randomly-spaced, brightly-colored dots concentrated in dark parts of the image.
Use this option to reduce noise at slow shutter speeds. Enabling noise reduction
increases the time needed to record pictures after they are shot.
M
On
Noise reduction is performed at slow shutter speeds, likely to result in pictures
affected by noise.
When a setting other than [Single] or [Intvl timer shooting] is selected for
[Continuous], noise reduction will not be performed.
k
Off (default setting)
Noise reduction is not enabled.
When noise reduction is enabled, the current setting is displayed in the monitor
during shooting (when [Off] is selected, an icon for the current setting is not
displayed in the monitor) (A 6).
