selected shutter value, as well as the available flicker free shutter values, based on the
mains power frequency you have selected in your camera's setup menu. The characteristics
of individual light sources may still cause flicker even when using flicker free values. We
recommend always performing a test shoot when not using continuous lights. For more
information, see the 'setup settings' section in this manual.
To select one of the flicker free shutter values, simply tap on one of the displayed shutter
values. Using the arrows on either side of the current shutter value indicator, will cycle through
some of the most commonly used values.
Your camera will suggest flicker free shutter values based on the mains power
frequency you choose in the 'setup' menu
If you would like to choose a specific shutter value, you can do so by double tapping the current
shutter indicator at the bottom left of your screen. This will bring up a keypad that allows you to
type in any shutter value you wish.
If you type in a shutter value that is less than your current frame rate, for example 1/25th when
shooting at 29.97 frames per second, the nearest achievable shutter value will be used. The
nearest shutter speed in this example would be 1/30th.
Use the manual shutter keypad to enter your shutter timing of choice when
shooting outdoors or under flicker free lights
Tapping the 'auto exposure' switch icon at the far right of the shutter menu opens the shutter
auto exposure menu.
This gives you the following auto exposure options.
Shutter
This setting automatically adjusts shutter value to maintain a constant exposure while keeping
iris aperture consistent. If you want to maintain a fixed depth of field, this is the setting to
choose. It's worth mentioning that the subtle automatic adjustments of the shutter may have an
effect on motion blur. It's also worth keeping an eye out for any flicker that may be introduced
from various light fixtures on indoor shoots. The auto iris feature is not available when the
'shutter' auto exposure mode is selected.
