Hi guys, i'm making video a for a contest and i need it very good so i hope you help me:
I am having problems with light flickers. I always used to use just one lamp, and it flickered a little but now I bought one more lamp and it get worse!!!
I would be glad if someone post a picture of your set with the ilumination,
Please help me.
Thanks
Before I can help, I need to know some things:
First, what are your camera settings? (Do you have the right light and auto-correct settings off?)
Are you blocking all the natural light?
Are you wearing white/bright colored clothing?
Are you getting out of the way before capturing each frame?
Those are the main things which cause flickering, the number of lamps doesn't really have anything to do with it.
So I use the Right light disabled and i dont know the auto correct setting.
I am blocking the natural light because i take pictures at night
i am wearing dark clothing
I stay in the same place every frame
Is this.
It's the Gain that's the main problem. If the Gain is really high, it causes light flicker because that setting increases the camera's sensitivity to light changes caused by reflections.
But first, you need to get one more lamp. If you lower the Gain now, the picture will be too dark. You need to add lots of light so you can lower the Gain and the other light settings and still have the picture be bright enough.
Thank you guys, it really helped!!
