D Flicker Reduction
• Take a test shot and view the results before taking additional
photographs.
•
Depending on the light source, flicker reduction may slightly delay
shutter response. During burst shooting, the frame rate may slow or
become erratic.
•
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.
