Flicker Reduction
If Auto fails to produce the desired results and you are unsure as to the frequency of the local power
supply, test both the 50 and 60 Hz options and choose the one that produces the best results. Flicker
reduction may not produce the desired results if the subject is very bright, in which case you should
try slowing shutter speed by using an ND fi lter or choosing a smaller aperture (larger f-number). To
prevent fl icker, select mode h and choose a shutter speed adapted to the frequency of the local
power supply: ⁄ s, ⁄ s, or ⁄ s for 60 Hz, ⁄ s, ⁄ s, or ⁄ s for 50 Hz.
