...yes, you are correct! But what I'm saying is; if you want to shoot sports under stadium lighting, and *don't* have the modern body, be ready to deal with this condition in post because you *must* get your shutter speed up and be able to expose the image...and you simply have to take the shot whenever it presents itself. Rock and hard place, I know, I went from a D4 (that I loved!) to the D5 and the problem pretty much disappeared. I can still tell, and make slight WB adjustments on the fly in post, but Nikon nailed it for cycling lights...and my D500 works just as well.

A faster shutter will result in a narrower band of "flicker effect" as the shutter window traveling across the sensor gets smaller. Either provide a reference article or some examples from your own work that validate your advice.

Been there, done that. Yes, you may get a lucky shot. But a camera with an anti flicker feature is the correct answer, since "strobing the venue" is not a real option. This article shows exactly how a faster shutter speed works in a burst, and why it's a bad idea.

If you have examples of what you are talking about, please share.


...my site is open for all to see (marchingpix.com)...you'll see events through the last 7 or 8 years, conditions like we're talking about and better gear through the seasons. I'm no "expert" but have much experience with this stuff. I try for the fastest shutter I can get, which in these venues, generally, will bottom out at 1/640th using 12,800 iso and I'm usually just fine with that (used to be I had to settle for less because of equipment)...always willing to learn.
