Noise in images
While shooting at slow shutter speeds, noise may appear on-screen. These
phenomena are caused when current is generated in those sections of the
image pickup device that are not normally exposed to light, resulting in a rise
in temperature in the image pickup device or image pickup device drive circuit.
This can also occur when shooting with a high ISO setting in a high-temperature
environment. To reduce this noise, the camera activates the noise reduction
function.
