Roger Alexander Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Hey guys, I shot on RED Dragon or Gemini. I usually use a plugin to clean up flickering shots after the fact. However, is there a way I cant set my camera to shoot the shot and avoid the flicker altogether? When shooting slowmo outside under different street lights, it does not appear to flicker on my RED touch screen. You'd won't even know if flickers until you home to review footage. Is there a certain way I can set my camera and/or shutter to avoid flicker in the shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Field Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 What is your shutter speed usually set at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Alexander Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 Usually 180 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Brereton Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 The streetlights are likely to be discharge lighting of some sort, which means they are probably flickering at 60hz, the frequency of mains power in the US. If you are currently shooting with a 180º shutter at 23.98fps, you should try using a 144º shutter, and see if that helps. It may not be exact, so some experimentation might be necessary.

Robin R Probyn Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 also depends your slo mo frame rate .. stick to those divisible by the Hz .. eg in the US 60/120/240.. and 180 degree shutter.. do a quick replay in camera to check.. blast off a quick file.. best way to check.. in Japan there is 50 and 60 hz regions so Im always having adjust... some sodium lights .. your screwed and they will always flicker as they dont rely on the Hz cycles ..
