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.
