In Olympus land, 'noise reduction' refers to dark frame subtraction after long exposures.

You need to adjust 'noise filter' via the same menu as you used - set to 'low' or 'off'.

Thanks, wish I'd known that before I did the test. It was set to standard.

Like all JPEG NF/NR, it is too aggressive at the default setting. Can smear detail badly, depending on subject.

If shooting only JPEGs, I would set this to OFF. As I shoot RAW + LSF JPEG, and use the two file types for different purposes, I set mine to NF = Low.
