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

• [Live Bulb] (P. 118) can be used to display the image exposure during bulb photography.
• [BULB] and [LIVE TIME] are not available at some ISO sensitivity settings.
• To reduce camera blur, mount the camera on a sturdy tripod and use a remote cable (P. 155).
• During shooting, there are limits on the settings for the following functions.
Sequential shooting, self-timer shooting, time lapse shooting, AE bracket shooting,
image stabilizer, fl ash bracketing, multiple exposure*, etc.
* When an option other than [Off] is selected for [Live Bulb] or [Live Time] (P. 118)
