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 activates the noise reduction function. g [Noise Reduct.] (P. 134)

RAW image data

RAW images consist of unprocessed image data to which settings such as exposure compensation and white balance have yet to be applied. They serve as raw data for

images that will be processed after shooting. RAW image les:

- Have the extension “.orf”

- Cannot be viewed on other cameras

- Can be viewed on computers using Olympus Workspace photo editing software

- Can be saved in JPEG format using the [RAW Data Edit] (P. 126) retouch option in the camera menus
