Selecting [ON] reduces the effects of flicker from such light sources as
fluorescent or mercury-vapor lamps.
•
Flicker can cause uneven exposure or (in photographs taken in
continuous release modes) inconsistent exposure or coloration.
•
If flicker reduction does not produce the desired results, turn the
camera off and aim it at the subject or light source before turning it on
again.
•
If [ON] is selected and flicker is detected when the shutter is released,
a green
I
will appear next to the FLICKER icon in the shooting
display.
•
If [ON] is selected, the shooting display will briefly go dark when the
shutter is released. In continuous high-speed and continuous low-
speed modes, the camera will behave as described below.
- Continuous high-speed: Priority is given to frame rate. The display
will briefly go dark with the first shot in each burst but not with the
subsequent shots.
- Continuous low-speed: Priority is given to flicker reduction. The
display will briefly go dark each time the shutter is released and the
frame rate may drop or become erratic.
