Anti-flicker Set.
To reduce the impact of flickering from artificial light sources (such as fluorescent or LED light), the camera can time the
shooting of images to moments when flickering will have less of an impact, or you can set the shutter speed more finely
than usual.
This function reduces differences in exposure and color tone between the upper and lower area of an image during
continuous shooting under artificial light sources.

Select a shutter speed that reduces the impact of flickering while checking the monitor. The faster you set the shutter
speed, the more likely there is to be a difference between the monitor display before shooting and the recorded image.
Make sure that the impact of flickering is reduced in the recorded image.
Hint
When [Anti-flicker Shoot.] is set to [On], the color tone of the resulting image may vary if you shoot the same scene using a

from the actual ones.)
On the [ Var. Shutter Set.] screen, you can finely adjust the high-resolution shutter speed using the rear dial or control wheel
as in the following example.
250.6 → 253.3 → 256.0 → 258.8*
