"job nr" displayed on the camera

[mocha2204]

Hi All,

I have Nikon D90 and lens nikon 35mm f1.8 and tokina 11-16mm f2.8.

I am starting to do a lot of night shots and with the slow shutter speed, I noticed that after clicking a picture for example at 30 seconds, my camera will be processing the picture for about 5-10 seconds and displaying 'job nr'.
At this time. I could not take any picture or do anything.
After 5-10 seconds, the job nr will disappear and the picture I just took will be displayed.

A friend has the same camera and tokina lens and hers doesnt do this.
After hers clicked at 30 seconds, it only took the camera like 2 seconds to display the picture she just took.

Anyone knows why this is happening and how to fix it?

Thank you so much in advance

It's doing noise reduction

Job NR is the camera performing noise reduction after any long exposure, i am sorry but i do not know where you would turn it off on a D90.

HI Kiwi and Viper,

Thanks for the quick reply. Ah NR stands for Noise Reduction. That gives me a piece of mind that there is nothing wrong with my camera.

I always shoot my nightshot at ISO 200, do you know why my camera still does noise reduction?
and will this job makes my picture quality better or not different because I shot at ISO 200?

And if anyone could shed a light how to turn it off on a D90 that would be great?
Because I shipped my D90 manual and box as I am going back for good soon in the next 2 weeks.

Thank you

You should be able to find the d90 online manual, or just google job NR
