Shutter speed was too high for the old incandescent lights causing those flares on screen. Live and learn #fyp #videography

2/16 Edited to

... Read moreWhen working with incandescent lighting in videography, one common challenge is the appearance of unwanted flares or flickers when using a high shutter speed. This occurs because incandescent bulbs emit light at a frequency that interacts with the camera's shutter, especially at faster speeds, leading to visual artifacts on screen. From my personal experience, lowering the shutter speed or adjusting the frame rate helps maintain smooth lighting without these distracting effects. In addition, experimenting with different lighting setups can improve the overall quality. Using softer, diffused lights or replacing old incandescent bulbs with LED alternatives can reduce flickering and flare. LEDs also offer more stable light output, making them more compatible with varying shutter speeds. Another tip is to shoot in manual mode, giving you greater control over exposure settings to balance shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. This way, you can prevent overexposure caused by flares while preserving the natural ambiance of incandescent lighting. Understanding how camera settings interact with lighting types is crucial, especially for creators aiming for professional-quality video. Live and learn – adjusting your shutter speed thoughtfully makes a noticeable difference in how incandescent lights appear in your footage and helps you avoid common pitfalls in videography.
