Street Lights Flicker?

[Sean Thomson]

Hey there! 

Would anyone know how well street lights work on camera? Concerned about flickering on camera. Maybe it differs, but is there a commonly known Hz? 

Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

For what it's worth, I've yet to see flicker from streetlights in my own footage or in any other footage I've seen shot under streetlights.

I’ve noticed slow rolling shutter flicker with DLSR/mirrorless style cameras. Hard to notice sometimes until you scrub thru the footage at high speed in post.

Usually, you can minimize it or dial it out if your camera has a Synchro Scan or Continuous shutter mode that allows you to change the shutter speed/angle in 0.1 increments.
