z The nature of CCD image sensors is such that noise in the

recorded image increases at long shutter speeds. This

at shutter speeds of 1.3 seconds or slower to eliminate the
noise, thereby producing high-quality images. A certain
amount of processing time, however, may be required
before the next image can be shot.
