Flicker Reduction Shooting
Flicker reduction can detect icker at 100 and 120Hz (asso-
ciated respectively with AC power supplies of 50 and 60Hz).
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 eect when [Continuous H
(extended)] is selected for release mode, when HDR or ex-
posure delay mode is enabled, or if silent photography is
currently enabled by selecting [On] either for [Silent pho-
tography] in the photo shooting menu or for [Silent pho-
tography] in any of the interval-timer, focus-shift, and time-
lapse movie sub-menus.
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.
