Flickering occurs easily when fluorescent or mercury lamps, etc. are used for lighting. Therefore, use a light source which does no produce flickering such as sunlight or halogen lamps, etc.

6 Set the lens iris to manual and adjust the iris so that the ZEBRA pattern covers the entire screen. If the light strikes the subject in an uneven manner, the ZEBRA pattern will not cover a part of the screen. Therefore, adjust the position of the light source, etc. as necessary.

Check that the lens iris is between F4 to F11. If the lens iris is not within this range, adjust the position of the light source, etc.

(Be sure to set the electronic shutter to OFF.)
