Notes
• [POP ART] to [DRAMATIC TONE] are not applied to RAW images.
• If the record mode is set to [RAW] and [POP ART] to [DRAMATIC TONE] are applied, the
record mode is automatically set to [YN+RAW].
• The grainy appearance of the picture may be emphasized when [POP ART] to [DRAMATIC
TONE] are applied.
• When you set to [DRAMATIC TONE] while the ISO sensitivity is set to AUTO, the upper limit of the
sensitivity is 1600. You can set it to higher than 1600 by setting to other than ISO AUTO. In this case,
however, the filter is less effective. In addition, the effect of the exposure compensation may not be
obtained.
• When any of [POP ART] through [DRAMATIC TONE] is applied, [COLOR SPACE] on the
menu is not available.

Noise reduction

This function reduces the noise that is generated during long exposures. When shooting
night scenes, shutter speeds are slower and noise tends to appear in images. With [NOISE
REDUCT.], you can let the camera reduce noise automatically to produce clearer images.
When set to [AUTO], noise reduction will be activated only when the shutter speed is slow.
When set to [ON], noise reduction will always be activated.
While noise reduction is activated, it takes about twice the usual time to take a picture.
Menu
• The noise-reduction process is activated after shooting.
• The card access lamp blinks and [busy] is displayed on
the viewfinder while noise reduction is operating. You
cannot take more pictures until the card access lamp turns
off.

Notes
• During sequential shooting, [NOISE REDUCT.] is [OFF]
automatically.
• This function may not work effectively with some shooting conditions or subjects.

Noise filter

You can select the noise processing level. Use [STANDARD] for general use. [HIGH] is
recommended during high sensitivity shooting.
