			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Pritchard linked what I was looking for. It's an issue with the lenses, but I got it figured out. Jamming the paper in the aperture tab definitely isn't the easiest thing to do, but I guess it worked. I'll have to try animating with it soon.

Sorry if I was kind of vague in the topic post, I meant to be more detailed in saying that it was the lens causing the issue, not the camera itself (because I have no light flicker unless I use the kit lens. Any other lens is fine), though thanks for all the extra tips anyway!]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Ok, so before I bought my Helios 44-2 58mm f/2 lens for brickfilming, I used the 18-55mm kit lens that came with the Nikon D3100. It had terrible light flicker issues, so I discontinued using it for brickfilming. I know [i]why[/i] the light flicker happened (it was because the aperture did not open to the exact same spot every time), now I would like to know how to fix it.

I think someone mentioned locking the aperture to one position on the lens itself, but I really have no idea, so all help would be appreciated.

Thanks]]></content>
