Video flicker reduction
G button U 1 video recording menu
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.
- The [Video flicker reduction] setting also applies 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:
- 50 Hz: ¹⁄₁₀₀ s, ¹⁄₅₀ s, ¹⁄₂₅ s
- 60 Hz: ¹⁄₁₂₅ s, ¹⁄₆₀ s, ¹⁄₃₀ s
