Keep your camera consistent too. No flash, and if yours gives off an orange light before the shot, none of that either. I may not be the best to speak, because I get light flicker too, but doing this toned it down. Hope this helps. mini/smile

My C910 doesn't give off flash or any of those orange lights u mentioned I have everything set to manual except for the gain (it won't give me control of that) and my white balance is set all the way down. I really need help!

Hmm, make sure your lights don't move, either. And don't put them directly on your set. I also suggest finding a way to focus the light a bit more so that it is a straighter beam.

It's your gain. When my gain was on auto, it gave me light flicker too. With my webcam, all the  automatic settings excpt for the gain are turned off when you undo the Rightlight. The gain can be turned off seperately. I don't know if your webcam can do that, just see if it can. If there is a little box with a check in it with "auto" written next to it to the right of the gain bar, then click it to uncheck the box.

Ok. Now where do I move the gain bar? all the way to the left or all the way to the right or where? lol

Adjust it and see where it would look best at. For me, I kept it where it was after I unchecked the box.

The C910 software should have box to uncheck the auto white balance.

Un check all of the auto boxes.
