If Auto fails to produce the desired results and you are unsure as to the
frequency of the local power supply, test both the 50 and 60 Hz options
and choose the one that produces the best results. Flicker reduction may
not produce the desired results if the subject is very bright, in which case
you should try choosing a smaller aperture (higher f-number). To
prevent flicker, select mode M and choose a shutter speed adapted to the
frequency of the local power supply:
1
/ 125 s,
1
/ 60 s, or
1
/ 30 s for 60 Hz;
1
/ 100 s,
1
/ 50 s, or
1
/ 25 s for 50 Hz.
