Flickering
Due to the influence of lighting, flickering may
sometimes happen. In this case, select "Indoor
scene" for "Light control mode". Select "Indoor
scene(50Hz)" or "Indoor scene(60Hz)" in accor-
dance with the power supply frequency in your
locality. Refer to the Operating Instructions
(included in the CD-ROM) for further informa-
tion about the setting.
Under extremely strong lighting, flickering may
happen even when "Indoor scene" is selected
for "Light control mode".
When the brightness (illuminance) level on the
screen is set to a relatively low level with the
[Brightness] buttons, flickering may frequently
happen. In such cases, either of the following
can reduce flickering.
• Moderate the illumination intensities of
objects by changing the camera direction.
• Set the brightness (illuminance) level on the
screen to a brighter level with the
[Brightness] buttons.
