Gentlemen, do not panic. It is normal :sweatsm: .

Yeah. It's common to most camera models across different manufacturers...
Here's one from my E-330:

Note that turning on NR may not be an option as you may miss the next shot -something picture-worthy happens but you can't take a picture as NR is busy processing the current shot. NR approximately doubles the picture taking time.

That's the downside of OLY NR... 2 sec exposure with NR means that the camera will take a 2 sec "black frame" to minus out the hot pixels. (10 sec exposure = 10 sec black frame...)

NR only kicks in when exposures are longer then 2 sec (i think) and having NR permanently enabled will not give you access to the "burst mode" shooting function.

So what I've done is to save 2 settings under the "Reset Menu" function, one for normal shooting and one for night-shooting with NR...
