Noise Reduction - Olympus CAMEDIA C-500 ZOOM Advanced Manual

Noise reduction

When shooting in dark places, shutter speeds become slower as there is
less light focused on the CCD. During long exposures, signals are
generated by parts of the CCD where no light is focused and are recorded
on the image as noise. When [NOISE REDUCTION] is set to [ON], the
camera automatically reduces the noise to produce clearer images.
ON
Noise is reduced. Shooting time is twice
as long as usual. Noise reduction is
enabled when the shutter speed is
slow.
The purpose of these pictures is to illustrate the effects of noise reduction. They are
not actual pictures.

Select [ON] or [OFF], and press Z.
Note
• [NOISE REDUCTION] is always set to [ON] when the camera is set to z or
f ((, *, &, or )).
• When [NOISE REDUCTION] is set to [ON], the camera implements noise-
reducing processes after each shot to produce clearer images. However,
shooting time is approximately twice as long as usual. During this time, the next
shot cannot be taken. Also, the picture is larger than normal. Use the monitor
to view what you are taking.
• When [NOISE REDUCTION] is set to [ON], sequential shooting and two-in-one
pictures are not possible.
• This function may not work effectively with some shooting conditions or
subjects.
Noise is not reduced. Noise may be
conspicuous with slow shutter speeds.
