Shoot the image.
¡The nature of CCD image sensors is such that noise in
the recorded image increases at slow shutter speeds.
This camera, however, applies special processing to
images shot at shutter speeds slower than 1.3 seconds
to eliminate the noise, thereby producing high-quality
images. Nevertheless, a certain amount of processing
time may be required before the next image can be shot.
