When a long exposure of one second or longer takes place,

performed, the message "Processing..." appears on the LCD

when timing of shooting takes precedence. However, this
makes the noise more conspicuous. It is recommended that

When the ISO is set to 1600 or above, High ISO noise reduction is automatically activated to
lower the noise.
