Shooting in Austria- flicker?

September 16, 2014 forum topics
I’m on my way to shoot s an F5, we will be shooting HD 1920 x 1080 at 29.97. I normally shoot with a 180 degree shutter. Some camera ops over there have been highly recommending that we instead set a shutter speed in increments of 25 (so either 50 or 100) to match up with the 50hz cycle of any Austrian lights that might get in the picture.
I just wanted to get people’s thoughts and see if anyone has had any experience w this situation. Thank you very much
