This function reduces flicker and banding in the shooting display and in footage recorded under fluorescent or mercury-vapor lighting.
The frequency of the power supply can be selected from [Auto], [50 Hz], and [60 Hz] according to the region of the shooting location.
- If [Auto] fails to produce the desired results, select [50 Hz] or [60 Hz] according to the frequency of the local power supply and take test shots. Choose [50 Hz] for areas with a 50 Hz power supply, [60 Hz] for areas with a 60 Hz power supply.
- [Video flicker reduction] is also applied to the shooting display in photo mode.
Cautions: [Video flicker reduction]
- Flicker reduction may not produce the desired results if the subject is very bright. If this is the case, try choosing a smaller aperture (higher f-number).
- If flicker reduction does not produce the desired results, select mode S or M and choose a shutter speed adapted to the frequency of the local power supply:
- 50Hz: 1/100 s, 1/50 s, 1/25 s
- 60Hz: 1/125 s, 1/60 s, 1/30 s
