Topic: Light flickering/camera settings
Hi all,
I just shot for an animation, where I specifically tried to get a nice lighting. I adjusted my (admittedly very, very cheap) webcam to all-manual, which resulted in large patches of blue and green noise in the frame. No manual setting I could find seemed to do anything to improve the situation. Not until I checked the "low light" box and set the auto-white-balance on. That gave a decent enough picture (not exactly what I had in mind yet, but it was getting late and I had to start animating) but also (of course) lightflicker.
So, two questions:
1 - Could someone explain how which camera setting has what effect on the picture?
2 - Does someone know if/how I can reduce the flickering in post production?
Thanks,
-PG
