Timelapse Photography: How to Stop Light Flickering

Timelapse photography can be a lot of fun. In this video, I briefly give explanation in response to a question I received on timelapse photography. The problem this person may have had applies to video.Show more

I must extend on what I explained on my video, however, that what you would use mostly for timelapse photography where in such a scenario you may have a light in your shot and causes flickering. The 3 scene modes under video setting on the Canon G7X Mark II clearly illustrates 3 scenes, the camera would automatically adjust the shutter speed accordingly to suit each scene. For the walking people, it would obviously increase the shutter speed.

In this video on timelapse photography, I explain how to stop light flickering to solve such a problem. It seems like it is a common problem that people run into and I hope this video serves you well, whether you're taking pictures using timelapse or video. I must add, however, that using the timelapse feature on the Canon G7X Mark II I personally haven't faced those issues.

Bearing in mind, if you're drawing with a slow shutter speed, your hand will appear blurred. It might be preferable to record in a brightly lit room with a faster shutter speed. However, this video should give you a bit better understanding behind the light flickering problem you may have come upon.
