
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, 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, under [

2: Viewfinder
display ], set [ Flicker detection ] to [ Show ] (p.74). When the camera
reduces the effects of the flicker when you shoot, <
G
> will light
up. Under a light source which does not flicker, or if no flicker is detected,
<
G
> will not be displayed.

If [ Flicker detection ] is set to [ Show ] and [ 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 [ 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.

Anti-flicker shooting also works with flash. However, the expected result
may not be obtained during wireless flash shooting.
