A
Flicker Reduction in the Photo Shooting Menu
Take a test shot and view the results before taking additional
photographs. Flicker reduction can detect flicker at 100 and 120 Hz
(associated respectively with AC power supplies of 50 and 60 Hz).
Flicker may not be detected or the desired results may not be achieved
with dark backgrounds or bright light sources. In the case of
decorative lighting displays and other non-standard lighting, the
desired results may not be achieved even when the
FLICKER
icon is
displayed. Depending on the light source, there may be a slight delay
before the shutter is released.
During burst shooting, the frame rate
may slow or become erratic; in addition, the desired results may not be
achieved if the frequency of the power supply changes during
shooting.
Flicker detection is performed whenever the composition is changed,
which may result in the
FLICKER
icon being displayed intermittently.
Flicker detection may not take effect at shutter speeds slower than
1
/
100
s (including Bulb and Time) or when
M
UP
is selected for release
mode or exposure delay mode is on. Flicker detection is available
during flash photography but can not be used with remote wireless
flash units.
