Video Flicker ReductionVideo Flicker Reduction
Reduce icker and banding in the shooting display and in recorded foot-
age when lming video under uorescent or mercury-vapor lighting.
Settings can be adjusted using [Video icker reduction] in the video
recording menu.
Choose [Auto] to allow the camera to automatically choose the cor-
rect frequency.
If [Auto] fails to produce the desired results, select [50Hz] or [60Hz]
according to the frequency of the local power supply. Choose [50Hz]
for areas with a 50Hz power supply, [60Hz] for areas with a 60 Hz
power supply.
Changes to [Video icker reduction] also apply to the shooting dis-
play in photo mode.
Cautions: “Video Flicker Reduction”
• 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 60Hz options and choose the one that produces the best results.
• 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).
• Tailoring shutter speed to minimize icker may not produce the desired results in modes other than
M, as the actual speed may not precisely match the value selected. If this is the case, select mode M
and choose a shutter speed adapted to the frequency of the local power supply:
−50 Hz: ¹⁄₁₀₀s, ¹⁄₅₀s, ¹⁄₂₅s
−60 Hz: ¹⁄₁₂₅s, ¹⁄₆₀s, ¹⁄₃₀s
