Notes
• The thumbwheel must have the assignment
p.52).
• Image noise becomes apparent when using higher sensitivities,
particularly on uniform dark areas. Long exposure times may
cause severe image noise. 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 "subtracted" from the data
for the actual picture. In such cases the message
will appear with a relevant time value.

The doubling of the "exposure" time must be taken into account
for long-term exposure times. The camera must not be switched
off during that time.
