I've been trying to find the answer to a question posed by a customer recently, but have so far not been able.
Whenever this person takes a long exposure shot (which he is inclined to do regularly as he's an astronomer) the camera seems to take an equal amount of time to process and write the image to memory as the exposure time. I.e. a 3-minute exposure takes a total of 6 minutes to take; a 15-minute exposure takes 30 minutes; etc.
Writing to the memory card takes a fraction of a second (there is still only a sensor's worth of information to write, right?), so what's causing the extra delay?
My theory is that the camera uses a second shot of equal duration, but with the shutter closed, to apply a fixed-pattern noise reduction filter to the final image. This works by creating what should be a blank, black image to identify any noise artefacts, which are then subtracted from the final image.
He first noticed this on a Panasonic compact camera, but the same occurs on his new Pentax K10D

- November 19, 2025We have it on good authority that the Olympus PT-033 underwater housing is to be discontinued. This housing is suitable for the Olympus mju 720/725, which are already waterproof themselves, and extends their depth-range to 40m.
We are expecting our last delivery in the next few days and we do have some spare stock from that. Once it's gone, however, it's gone forever.
