Selecting The Shutter Mode And Speed - Sony HDCAM HDW-700A Operation Manual

Notes
• Whatever the operating mode of the electronic shutter, the iris opens
wider as the shutter speed increases, thus reducing the depth of field.
• Under artificial light, particularly fluorescent or mercury lamps, the
light intensity may appear to be constant, but the strengths of each of
the R, G, and B colors are actually changing in synchronization with
the frequency of the power supply ("flicker"). Using an electronic
shutter under such lighting could make the flicker even worse. Color
flicker is particularly likely to happen when the power supply is 60 Hz.

However, if the power supply is 50 Hz, setting the shutter speed to
1/100 can reduce this flicker.
