Focus peaking and the LV super control panel are not available in the flicker scan display. To view these items, first press the INFO button to exit the flicker scan display.

Choosing the Shutter Speed

Choose a shutter speed using the front or rear dial or the FG buttons. If desired, the shutter speed can be selected by keeping FG pressed.
You can also rotate the front dial to adjust shutter speed in the exposure increments selected for [EV Step].
Continue adjusting shutter speed until banding is no longer visible in the display.
Magnifying the display (“Zoom frame AF/Zoom AF (Super Spot AF)”) makes it easier to check for banding.
Press the INFO button; the display will change and the “FlickerScan” will no longer be displayed. You can adjust aperture and exposure compensation. Do so using the front or rear dial or the arrow pad.
Press the INFO button repeatedly to return to the flicker scan display.
