Originally posted by whyhaveone Hi, I'd be grateful for help with this using my Pentax K-S2. My photography is probably split between moving objects (animals/birds/sports) and landscape/architecture. I have my user setting U1 set up for Landscapes and U2 settings for sport. I shoot in JPG for the moment whilst still getting used to this camera.
The camera has settings for Hi ISO NR and low shutter speed NR. What settings should I use in general and for my U1, U2 settings? And why please. Assume (correctly) that I have limited knowledge about this.
Thanks in advance.
In your case, slow shutter speed noise reduction isn't really relevant since it only kicks in for exposure times around 30 seconds or longer. High-ISO NR can have an effect, though.
If you post-process on your PC, and if you don't shoot in raw, I'd recommend disabling in-camera noise reduction entirely as it eats away detail. You'll get better results by reducing the noise in post if it's prominent.
I've found that the Pentax JPEG engine tends to apply a good amount of baseline noise reduction even if the NR setting is off, so you should be fine
