G9 and In-Camera Noise Reduction

.
After writing about how to tune the in-camera jpg from the G9, I've been asked about tuning the noise reduction as well. Although some cameras have adjustable noise reduction/treatment settings, the G9 does not. Noise reduction is applied to all JPEG images as deemed necessary and appropriate by Canon. To get around the in-camera G9 noise reduction process, you’ll have to shoot in raw mode.
