When connecting the camera to a television or VCR, be sure the camera video mode matches the device video standard (NTSC or PAL).

Flicker Reduction Gbutton ➜ Bsetup menu

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.

AFlicker 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 select mode A or M and choose a smaller aperture (larger f-number).
