(flicker icon) will be displayed.

Hint

Influences caused by flickering may be reduced and

(flicker icon) will not be displayed in the

following shooting modes:

[Intelligent Auto]

The color tone of the shot result may vary when you shoot the same scene using a different shutter
speed. If that happens, we recommend that you shoot in [Shutter Priority] or [Manual Exposure]
mode with a fixed shutter speed.

You can perform anti-flicker shooting by pressing the shutter button halfway down even when in
manual focus mode.

Note

The shutter release lag may increase slightly. In continuous shooting mode, the shooting speed may
slow down or the interval between each shot may become unequal.

The camera detects flickering when the frequency of the light source is 100 Hz or 120 Hz only.

The camera cannot detect flickering depending on the light source and shooting conditions, such as
a dark background.

Even if the camera detects flickering, the influences caused by flickering may not be reduced enough
depending on the light source or the shooting situation. We recommend that you take test shots
beforehand.
