Image artifacts appear in the display during shooting

If this occurs, check the following:

• To reduce noise, adjust settings such as ISO sensitivity, shutter speed, or Active D-Lighting.
• At high ISO sensitivities, noise may become more noticeable in long exposures or in pictures recorded when the camera temperature is elevated. Select a low ISO sensitivity.
• Prolonged use of the camera may cause the internal temperature to rise, resulting in noise in the form of bright spots, randomly-spaced bright pixels, or fog. Turn the camera off when it is not in use.
• Randomly-spaced bright pixels, fog, lines or unexpected colors may appear if you press the X button to zoom in on the view through the lens during shooting.
• Note that the distribution of noise in the display may differ from that in the final picture.
• This issue can sometimes be addressed by checking and optimizing the image sensor. Perform pixel mapping using [Pixel mapping] in the setup menu.
