Flicker Reduction
Flicker reduction can detect icker at 100 and 120Hz (asso-
ciated respectively with AC power supplies of 50 and 60Hz).
Flicker may not be detected or the desired results may not
be achieved with dark backgrounds, bright light sources, or
decorative lighting displays and other non-standard lighting.
Depending on the light source, there may be a slight delay
before the shutter is released. In addition, the desired results
may not be achieved if the frequency of the power supply
changes during shooting.
The Photo Shooting Menu “Flicker Reduction Shooting” Option
Flicker detection will not take eect at shutter speeds slower
than ⁄s (including Bulb and Time) or when Continuous H
(extended) is selected for release mode or silent photogra-
phy, HDR, or exposure delay mode is enabled.
The Movie Shooting Menu “Flicker Reduction” Option
The Flicker reduction option in the movie shooting menu
can be used to adjust icker reduction settings for movie
mode. In most circumstances we would recommend that
you choose Auto to allow the camera to automatically
choose a frequency matching that of the local power supply.
