    Changing the noise reduction setting
    When you set the shutter speed to a second or longer (Long exposure 
    shooting), noise reduction is turned on for the same duration that the shutter 
    is open.
    This is to reduce the grainy noise typical in a long exposure. When noise 
    reduction is in progress, a message appears and you cannot take another 
    picture. Select [On] to prioritize the image quality. Select [Off] to prioritize 
    the timing of shooting.

     When the exposure mode is set to AUTO or Scene Selection, you cannot turn off 
    noise reduction.
    When shooting with the ISO set at 1600 or above, the camera reduces the 
    noise that becomes more noticeable when the camera sensitivity is high.
    Select [On] to prioritize the image quality. Select [Off] to prioritize the 
    timing of shooting.
