When [Anti-flicker Tv Scan] is assigned to a custom key, you can make the camera automatically set the shutter speed to reduce
the impact of flickering by pressing the key while shooting.
On the [
Var. Shutter Set.] screen, you can finely adjust the high-resolution shutter speed using the rear dial L, rear dial R, or
control wheel as in the following example.
250.6 → 253.3 → 256.0 → 258.8*
You can change the high-resolution shutter speed to an integral multiple value using the front dial, as in the following example.

When [
Var. Shutter] is set to [On], the high-resolution shutter speed can be finely adjusted on the shooting standby screen. If
you want to change the high-resolution shutter speed to an integral multiple value even on the shooting standby screen, assign
[Shutter Speed(step)] to a custom key or the “My Dial” setting.
When you change the [
Var. Shutter] setting from [On] to [Off], the high-resolution shutter speed switches to the closest value
among normal shutter speeds.
Note
When you set [Anti-flicker Shoot.] to [On], the image quality of the live view is reduced.
When you set [Anti-flicker Shoot.] to [On], the shutter release lag may increase slightly. In the continuous shooting mode, the
shooting speed may slow down or the interval between shots may become irregular.
Even when [Anti-flicker Shoot.] is set to [On], the camera may be unable to detect flickering depending on the light source and
shooting conditions, such as a dark background. Also, even if the camera detects flickering, its impact may not be reduced
sufficiently depending on the light source and the shooting situation. We recommend that you take test shots beforehand.
