152If you shoot an image with a fast shutter speed under a light sourcesuch as fluorescent light, the blinking of the light source causes flickerand the image may be vertically unevenly exposed. If continuousshooting is used under these conditions, uneven exposures or colorsacross the images may result. When you use this feature duringviewfinder shooting, the camera detects the frequency of the lightsource’s blinking and takes the picture when the flicker causes lesseffect on exposure or color tone.1 Select [Anti-flicker shoot.]. Under the [z4] tab, select [Anti-flicker shoot.], then press <0>.2 Select [Enable].3 Take the picture. The image will be taken with reducedunevenness of exposure or color tonecaused by the flicker.3 Reducing FlickerN When [Enable] is set and you shoot under a flickering light source, theshutter-release time lag may become longer. Also, the continuousshooting speed may become slower, and the shooting interval maybecome irregular. This function does not work with Live View shooting or movie shooting. In the <d> or <f> mode, if the shutter speed changes during continuousshooting or if you shoot multiple shots of the same scene at different shutterspeeds, the color tone may be inconsistent. To avoid inconsistent colortones, use the <s> or <a> 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 duringcontinuous shooting, effects of the flicker cannot be reduced.
