Reduce flicker and banding when shooting
under fluorescent or mercury-vapor lighting
during live view or movie recording. Choose
a frequency which matches that of the local
AC power supply.
Change time zones, set the camera clock, choose the date display
order, and turn daylight saving time on or off.

Flicker Reduction
If you are unsure as to the frequency of the local power supply, test both
options and choose the one that produces the best results. Flicker
reduction may not produce the desired results if the subject is very
bright, in which case you should try choosing a smaller aperture (larger
f-number). The desired results may also not be achieved in high-
sensitivity movie mode or during exposure preview (
0 57). In exposure
preview, this is due to the fact that the selected ISO sensitivity and
shutter speed may not always be used, and flicker reduction may take
effect if you select mode f or h and change the shutter speed.
