*Slower speeds produce smoother results: at a frame rate of 30 fps, for example, choose speeds between ⁄ s and ⁄ s. If fl ickering lights cause fl icker or banding in the movie, change the shutter speed and check the effect in the monitor. If the local power sup- ply is 50 Hz, choose a shutter speed of ⁄ s.

White Balance

Press the U button and rotate the main command dial to choose a white balance option. Note that you must exit live view to measure preset white balance (page 20).
