Hello, i'm having some flickering issues with DVX200 4K capture. When using either 4K 60P or 4K 30P and when i'm pointing the camera in front of an LCD screen, i get lots of flickering, making it unuseable. When I switch however to1080i HD, the flickering is almost eliminated. Any thing in the settings to try in 4K mode??
Thanks :(

I shoot a lot of corporate video with a lot of "screens". When this happens try adjust the shutter speed. In this case, I'd try 1/50th first.
 
I had a similar situation at a dance event last night. While setting up and test shooting during practice, I noticed a terrible flickering of the stage lighting in some scenes. The lights causing the issue were those remotely controlled multi-color LED spots. The lighting technician and I worked on it and the solution was....shoot at 1/50th instead of 1/60th. He said the newer versions of the lights actually have settings for this so you can change the lights instead of the cameras.
 
Hello,
Sync Scan and 1/50 did not resolve my issue i'm afraid. I had to for one instane use Blackmagic Resolve software to fix the flickering in post; second solution was to switch to HD 1080i.

Is there any way to adjust the scan rate of the screen you're shooting? I know on some laptops, for example, I get flicker in video of the screen when the display goes into low power (dim) mode. When it's full bright, there's no problem.
