When this frequency is 50 Hz, mutual interference will occur between the portable recorder's vertical sync frequency (approx. 60 Hz) and the lighting frequency (50 Hz). This means that the white balance may change periodically. Before shooting in areas with artificial lighting or adjusting the white balance, set the shutter speed with reference to the following tables.
