Choose [50 Hz] for areas with a 50 Hz power supply, [60 Hz] for areas with a 60 Hz power supply. Cautions: "Video 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. If this is the case, try choosing a smaller aperture (higher f-number). • Tailoring shutter speed to minimize flicker may not produce the desired results in modes other than M, as the actual speed may not precisely match the value selected. If this is the case, select mode M and choose a shutter speed adapted to the frequency of the local power supply: − 50 Hz s s s − 60 Hz s s s 34 Settings
