182 Menu Guide > C The Photo Shooting Menu
When On is selected, the camera will time photographs to
reduce banding, areas of under- or over-exposure, or (in
photographs taken in continuous release modes) uneven
coloration caused by the flicker of such light sources as
fluorescent or mercury-vapor lamps (note that the frame rate
may drop while flicker reduction is in effect, and that the frame
rate may slow or become erratic during burst shooting).
Metering determines how the camera sets exposure. For more
information, see “Metering” (0 106).
Flicker Reduction Shooting

D “Flicker Reduction Shooting” in the Photo Shooting Menu
Flicker reduction can detect flicker at 100 and 120Hz (associated
respectively with AC power supplies of 50 and 60Hz). 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. The desired results may
not be achieved if the frequency of the power supply changes during
shooting.
Flicker detection will not take effect at shutter speeds slower than
1
/ 100 s (including Bulb and Time) or when Continuous H (extended) is
selected for release mode or silent photography, HDR, or exposure
delay mode is enabled.
