• Image noise becomes apparent when using higher sensitivities,
particularly on uniform dark areas. In order to reduce this
annoying phenomenon, the camera will take a second "black
picture" (taken with the shutter closed) automatically after
pictures taken with slow shutter speeds and high ISO values. The
noise metered in this parallel picture is then digitally "subtract-
ed" from the data for the actual picture. In such cases the
message will appear with a relevant time value.
Noise reduction
The doubling of the "exposure" time must be taken into account
for long exposure times. The camera must not be switched off
during that time.
