Reducing Flicker
N
The color tone of the captured images when [
z
4: Anti-flicker shoot. ] is
set to [ Enable ] may look different from when [ Disable ] is set.
Flicker at a frequency other than 100 Hz or 120 Hz cannot be detected.
Also, if the flickering frequency of the light source changes during
continuous shooting, effects of the flicker cannot be reduced.
If the subject is against a dark background or if there is a bright light in
the image, flicker may not be properly detected.
Under certain special types of lighting, the camera may not be able to
reduce the effects of the flicker even when <
G
> is displayed in the
viewfinder.
Depending on the light source, flicker may not be detected properly.
If you recompose a shot, <
G
> may appear and disappear
intermittently.
Depending on the light sources or shooting conditions, the expected
result may not be obtained even if you use this function.
Taking test shots in advance is recommended.
If <
G
> is not displayed in the viewfinder, add a checkmark [ X ] to
[ Flicker detection ] in [ Show/hide in viewfinder ] (p.82). When you
shoot with flicker reduction, <
G
> will light up. Under a light source
that does not flicker or with no flicker detected, <
G
> will not be
displayed.
If a checkmark [ X ] is added to [ Flicker detection ] and [
z
4: Anti-
flicker shoot. ] is set to [ Disable ], metering under a flickering light source
will cause <
G
> to blink in the viewfinder as a warning. Setting to
[ Enable ] before shooting is recommended.
In Basic Zone modes, <
G
> will not be displayed, but the effects of
flicker will be reduced when you shoot.
Flicker reduction also works with flash photography. However, the
expected result may not be obtained for wireless flash photography.
