NOISE REDUCTION

NOISE SUPPRESSION FUNCTION FOR LONG-TERM EXPOSURE

In digital photography, the appearance of flawed pixels that can be
white, red, blue or green is referred to as "noise". Image noise be-
comes more 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 a shooting with slow shutter speed and high ISO
value. The noise metered in this parallel picture is then digitally "sub-
tracted" from the data for the actual picture. In such cases the mes-
sage 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.

NOISE REDUCTION IN JPG SHOTS

Except when high sensitivities are used, noise is luckily negligible.
Nevertheless, noise reduction is a component of data processing
when JPG files are generated. On the other hand, since it also has an
effect on the focus review, you can optionally weaken or strengthen
this noise reduction in comparison to the standard setting.
