Christmas/party Lights Flicker

[Ben Kahn]

Hi,

I'm looking for advice on shooting Christmas/party lights without having them flicker on camera. Are their flicker-free lights specifically made for filming? What about LED vs. incandescent? Does that make a difference?

Or is it just a matter of playing with shutter angle?

Thanks for your help

Try experimenting with different shutter angles. You should be able to find one that reduces or eliminates the flicker.

If incandescent is available, get those. LED string lights tend to flicker quite badly.

what Satsuki said.  and not just for flicker reasons...
