Topic: Bad Flicker(Again!)

Sorry so many flicker problems, but I have this other flicker problem, and I don't know how to fix it. I have the Shutter Speed at 1/250(I also do 1/100), I have Manual focus turned on, and the White Balance is Set to the custom setting. I don't think my camera has a manual exposure setting though. mini/sad

Here's the clip with flicker: http://youtu.be/G-NYPu0LqeM

Also, I think the problem is that when something big goes into the picture, the camera adds more light. It's really annoying, and that's the one major cause of light flicker.

Here's two pictures showing this exposure problem.

Now it's lighter. Any suggestions?

That's probably your problem.

Time to get a new camera.

Not literally dead, just no longer interested in Lego or animation.

Yeah, but what camera? I can't get webcams, so what can I get for cheap? I used to have the Logitech Quickcam 9000, but it didn't have manual settings, so I sen't it back. What good manual camera is good for mac?

@GHB Productions, Not really sure if there are many. One thing though, have you blocked out all incoming light other then the lamps you are using? I have found that I have flicker, unless I put a board up surrounding most of my set.
