    Noise reduction is activated
    •  When shooting night scenes, shutter speeds are slower and noise tends to\
     appear in images. The camera activates the noise-reduction process after shooting at slow \
    shutter 
    speeds. During which, shooting is not allowed. You can set [Noise Reduct.] to [Off].
    g [Noise Reduct.] (P. 75)

    Image taken appears whitish
    This may occur when the picture is taken in backlight or semi-backlight \
    conditions. This is 
    due to a phenomenon called  fl are or ghosting. As far as possible, consider a composition 
    where strong light source is not taken in the picture. Flare may occur e\
    ven when a light 
    source is not present in the picture. Use a lens hood to shade the lens \
    from the light source.

    image processing functions” (P. 103)
