Canon 10D noise reduction

Is there a way to adjust or reduce the amount of in camera noise reduction in the 10D?

I don't see anything in the manual about it. Some other makes of cameras do allow for adjusting in camera noise reduction.
Thanks much.

1. Lower ISO.
2. Expose to the right.
3. Use RAW and post process.

To achieve this in low light you may need flash, fast lenses, IS, tripod, individually or in combination based on your subject and environment.

This applies to all cameras.

I understand the 3 points you made but, in my Panasonic I can change the in camera noise reduction to low, medium or high. I set it to low and if necessary post process to remove noise. The 10D in camera reduction softens the photo too much. I thought there may be away to change the setting.
Thanks, Ron

The 10D doesn't have any noise reduction. Setting the sharpness or saturation low will make noise less visible in JPEGs, but that is not noise reduction per se.

No Canon DSLR has software noise reduction for high sensitivity, only for longer exposures which is a totally different process.

No way to change settings if it doesn't exist!

As others have said there is no user controllable noise reduction setting in the 10D, and Canon doesn't even make a point of claiming any noise reduction is applied at all by the camera.

The softness you are seeing is the result of less in camera sharpening than your Panasonic, and an anti-aliasing filter on top of the sensor to reduce moire, which has the secondary effect of softening the image. Sharpening in post processing is the remedy to your problem.
