Flicker Filter

Fluorescent light bulbs flicker due to the alternating current. The electronic shutter on the HP iPAQ is not immune to this flickering, though the human eye is. The Flicker Filter setting is used to filter out the flickering or banding caused by fluorescent lighting.

To adjust the banding that can be caused by fluorescent lighting, select from the following settings:

•Auto (default)—Automatically adjusts the banding on the HP iPAQ for the best picture.

•50 Hz—Filter out banding caused by fluorescent light bulbs that operate on AC at 50Hz

•60 Hz—Filter out banding caused by fluorescent light bulbs that operate on AC at 60Hz
