How Do I Stop Video STROBING?

When using the video option on the L5, do I often get ‘strobing’ (a fast dimming up and down)?

If I point the camera elsewhere, in a different light, strobing goes away. If I want to record a video, I need to find the right lighting and not move from it or strobing comes back.

I attempted to upload a short video of the ‘strobe’ effect. But not allowed.

It’s great for a disco effect though :laughing:

Strobing is a property of the light source, it just happens too fast for your eye to register. Most cameras do some kind of automatic detection and exposure adjustment to reduce this effect; here there’s no automatic detection, so you have to adjust the exposure slider manually.

Were you in a disco?

Try putting the balance mode on manual
