Quick tip: Take flicker-free photos in artificial light

When shooting under artificial light, fluorescent lamps can cause streaks or colour shifts in your images. In this quick tip, Canon Academy's Petra Selbertinger explains how to use the Anti-Flicker shooting function on your EOS camera to minimise these annoying effects.

Anti-flicker shooting can be activated using the Q button or the red camera menu. Some EOS R cameras also offer HF anti-flicker. Petra uses a HF light source to demonstrate how the function reduces the flickering effect by automatically or manually optimising the exposure time.
