eduction may slightly delay shutter response.
Flicker reduction can detect flicker at 100 and 120Hz (associated respectively with AC power
supplies of 50 and 60Hz). The desired results may not be achieved if the frequency of the power
supply changes during burst photography.
Flicker may not be detected or the desired results may not be achieved depending on the light
source and shooting conditions, for example with scenes that are brightly lit or feature dark
backgrounds.
The desired results may also not be achieved with decorative lighting displays and other non-
standard lighting.
The actual effects of photo flicker reduction may differ from those visible in the display.
