3 Reducing Flicker If you shoot an image with a fast shutter speed under a light source such as fluorescent light, the blinking of the light source causes flicker and the image may be vertically unevenly exposed. If continuous shooting is used under these conditions, uneven exposures or colors across the images may result. When you use this feature during viewfinder shooting, the camera detects the frequency of the light source's blinking and takes the picture when the flicker causes less effect on exposure or color tone. 1 Select [Anti-flicker shoot.]. Under the [z3] tab, select [Antiflicker shoot.], then press . 2 Select [Enable]. 3 Take the picture. The image will be taken with reduced unevenness of exposure or color tone caused by the flicker. When [Enable] is set and you shoot under a flickering light source, the shutter-release time lag may become longer. Also, the continuous shooting speed may become slower, and the shooting interval may become irregular. This function does not work with mirror lockup, Live View shooting, or movie shooting. In the or mode, if the shutter speed changes during continuous shooting or if you shoot multiple shots of the same scene at different shutter speeds, the color tone may be inconsistent. To avoid inconsistent color tones, use the or mode at a fixed shutter speed. The color tone of images shot when [Anti-flicker shoot.] is set to [Enable] may look different from when [Disable] is set. Flicker at a frequency other than 100 Hz or 120 Hz cannot be detected. Also, if the flickering frequency of the light source changes during continuous shooting, effects of the flicker cannot be reduced. 198
