Differences between the [Anti-flicker Shoot.] and [Var. Shutter] functions
This camera has two different functions to reduce the impact of flickering from artificial light sources (such as fluorescent
or LED light).
The features of each function and the corresponding shooting conditions are as follows.
Hint
The impact of flickering can be reduced by using [Anti-flicker Shoot.] and [
Var. Shutter] together even in a shooting
environment where both 100 Hz/120 Hz flickering and higher-frequency flickering occur. In this case, first set [Anti-flicker Shoot.]
and [
Var. Shutter] to [On], and then adjust the shutter speed with [ Var. Shutter Set.] before shooting images.

The camera can time the shooting of
images to moments when flickering will
have less of an impact by detecting the
flickering frequency automatically.
You can manually or automatically adjust the
shutter speed while checking the impact of
flickering on the monitor.
When you press the center of the control wheel,
flickering is automatically detected and the
impact of flickering is removed.

Flickering with a frequency of 100 Hz or

Flickering with a frequency of 100 Hz or 120 Hz
(such as fluorescent light) and flickering with a
frequency higher than 100 Hz or 120 Hz (such
as LED light)
The faster you set the shutter speed, the more likely there is to be a difference between the monitor display before shooting and the recorded
image. Make sure that the impact of flickering is reduced in the recorded image.

Even when [Anti-flicker Shoot.] is set to [On], the camera cannot detect flickering frequencies other than 100 Hz or 120 Hz.
