Bright bands appear during live view or movie recording: A flashing sign, flash, or
other light source with brief duration was used during live view or movie
recording.
Noise (bright spots, randomly-spaced bright pixels, fog, lines, or reddish areas) appears in
photos:
• To reduce randomly-spaced bright pixels, fog, or lines, choose lower ISO
sensitivity or use high ISO noise reduction (0 117, 308).
• To reduce bright spots, randomly-spaced bright pixels, or fog at shutter
speeds slower than 1 s or to reduce reddish areas and other artifacts in
long time-exposures, enable long exposure noise reduction (0 308).
• Turn Active D-Lighting off to avoid heightening the effects of noise
(0 188).
Smudges appear in photographs: Clean front and rear lens elements.
If problem
persists, perform image sensor cleaning (0 417).

Photographs and movies do not appear to have the same exposure as the preview shown
in the monitor during live view: Changes to monitor brightness during live view
photography and movie live view have no effect on images recorded with
the camera (0 57).
