High-Frequency Flicker Reduction
Flicker may cause banding in pictures taken under high-frequency LED
lighting or in shots that include monitors with high-frequency LED
displays. Enabling high-frequency flicker reduction allows shutter speed
to be adjusted in smaller increments, which helps in identifying speeds
that keep flicker to a minimum.
•
High-frequency flicker reduction is available during still photography
in modes S and M at shutter speeds between
1
/
8000
and
1
/
30
s.
•
Pressing the control assigned [High-frequency flicker reduction]
enables shutter-speed fine-tuning, reducing the size of the
increments used for shutter-speed selection. Normal shutter-speed
selection can be restored by pressing the control a second time.
•
After choosing a shutter speed suited to your subject, enable high-
frequency flicker reduction and fine-tune shutter speed while viewing
your subject in the shooting display until you find a value that
minimizes flicker and banding. The effect can be more readily
ascertained by zooming in on your subject using display zoom.
