What settings are recommended to avoid flickering or trails when shooting Christmas lights video with the Panasonic HC-VX1K 4K camera?
Asked by: Humberto
In general, the intensity of flickering can be decreased by using a slower shutter speed. Similarly, the flicker frequency can sometimes be decreased by using a shutter speed which is as close as possible to a known safe shutter speed.
