Get rid of Flickering during Shoot

Every videographer once in their career gets in a situation where they face flickering of video, this happens in a low light situation. This guide will help you get out of that situation to some extent.

180-degree shutter rule says to keep the shutter double of the fps. So that if we’re shooting at 1920x1080@24fps, our shutter should be minimum 48. Most camera won’t let you go down to 48 but you can round-up, safely.

Also note that slower shutter produces motion blur, which is bad for tracking.
