Hi there,

I was shooting with my new PCC6KPRO at a nightclub event and noticed that there was horizontal banding appearing on my screen/monitor which was being caused by the fluro tubes above. I was shooting at 25fps and set my shutter speed to 1/50 however the banding was awful. I played around with different shutter speeds and in the end had to go down to 1/25 which still showed some banding. I also experimented with different frame rates and flipped between 50hz and 60hz but this also made no difference... Am I missing something here? Or is it just an unfortunate fact to deal with when working with crap fluro tube lighting.

Thanks, Joe

Sometimes is not really precise value, if you keep pressed the fingher on shutter value you can setup fractional value like 92.7 degree or similar to find the exact right value to avoid banding.
Flou tube is often a nightmare for filmaker.

fluro often causes problems.
Sins you are shooting 25fps at shutter speed 1/50 then you are basically using 180 degree rule.
I assume you are shooting in 50Hz country
so try using shutter angle 178.8 and see how it goes.
