D60 noise reduction not functioning

[davech]

Attention all D60 user,
On my D60, when I ON the noise reduction function the picture turn out the same noise as OFF. I check the exif file both stated OFF.( either on or off still stated off).
Please check your D60 too.
Should I send it for service to check it out, since its still under warranty?
Thanks for you informations.

There's 2 types of NR, normal and long exposure NR.

Are you sure you turned the right type on?

For normal there should be Low/Medium/High setting.

For Long exposure there's just ON/OFF but you need to take a shot longer than 8 seconds to activate it I think.

Better RTFM :)

Also at what ISO are you shooting at? Mind posting the EXIF data here?

If I am not wrong, the standard NR kicks in at ISO 800 and above. That is the setting for my older D40 if I am not wrong.

Thnaks for your info..let me try again on higher ISO.

Anyway, what's the benefit of doing it in-cam as opposed to in photoshop with ninja or noiseware?

I guess your IEXIF software didn't show the 'Normal' Noise Reduction value, the Noise Reduction columm in the IEXIF is for 'Long Exposure' Noise Reduction value, try to expose more than 8 second, you will see the Noise Reduction value no longer 'Off'

well imo, nikon should know better how to handle noise than most of their dslr user.

1. less hassle..that's all. it's still better to PP the noise away yourself coz the in-camera NR kills more detail than doing it properly yourself.

2. depending on what settings u use for diff ISOs sometimes its better to just let the camera do it..saves time and the results are marginal.

3. also depending on what camera you're using, certain models have really crappy noise reduction IQ..they just blur off everything (hence back to point number 1)

4. Long Exposure NR kicks in when exposure=1sec or longer if i'm not mistaken..i recall seeing this somewhere in a nikon user manual.

Dark frame subtraction for slow shutter speed and bulb mode. :google:
