I a have the anti flicker setting on Auto and have also set it to 50 and 60 hz. I am finding with certain lights I think led that the anti flicker is not working well

What framerate are you using?
Make sure you set it to 25 or 50, as you are in PAL area.

I always use 1080p 60 I will try an experiment We are in Spain at the moment

That could explain the flicker.
Unfortunately, mixing 60 and 50fps footage in one video is not good either. So if you already started at 60fps, I would live with the flickering and just stick to that.
But you might want to test if the 50fps will fix the flickering (it should)

Hello there Bigplumbs. Thank you for reaching out and for these information. Kindly please set the ISO to Auto and select Anti-Flicker to the corresponding frequency ( 50 Hz or 60 Hz ). In Shutter Priority Mode or Manual Mode, manually adjust the shutter. Select 1/100s, 1/50s, or 1/25s for a 50 Hz light source. Select 1/120s, 1/60s, or 1/30s for a 60 Hz light source. If the issue persist in a brighter or lighter environment when using Auto mode, the shutter will make automatic adjustment based on the environment lighting. At this time, the shutter speed may differ from the once recommended above, which may result in flickering. In addition, flickering cannot be removed when shooting a 120 fps video since the minimum setting is 1/120S, which fails to meet the above requirements. Thank you.

I'm quite sure setting your framerate to 50fps will fix it.
But it will be difficult to combine with 60fps footage, so that might be a problem.
You can try 30fps with a lower shutterspeed (slower), that might help a little 'and' it also is good to combine with 60pfs footage.

Thanks for all the info but I only ever use Auto so will just put up with it. I hate all that camera geek ISO stuff. Life is too short

Nope did not understand any of that and I think I don’t want to lol

You are quite correct set it to 50 fps and all flicker gone

Iso - how sensitive the sensor is to light (lower improves quality)

Shutter speed - how long the shutter stays open. Shorter improves crispness of moving images, longer allows you to show motion as the photo/ video frames will have some blur of a moving object.

Aperture - how wide the shutter opens. Lower numbers actually mean more light gets in.

You don't have to learn the science but tinkering with these can really improve your outputs.

As for the flicker which was my original question that brought me to this thread; 50hz for EU and 60HZ  for the US will get rid of the horizontal lines; auto doesn't seem to work consistently

Glad to hear you found the solution to your problem. Had this with my Pocket 2, too, and the fix was the same. Setting it to 25 or 50 fps removes the flicker in PAL regions. Just wish I'd remember it more often in my filming.

If you see flicker on the screen at 60fps, setting manual shutter just for that shot to 1/100 and then go back to whatever you normally do.

Basically, multiples of 50 on shutter speed will help with flicker. If picture is too bright (which I doubt) then go up to 1/200th second just for that shot to make the picture darker.

Don’t mix 50FPS footage with 60FPS in the same video. Only adjust the shutter if you see flicker for individual shots.

Auto anything doesn't always get it right, including the 'anti-flicker' switch.

Try just moving the shutter if you use 60fps. Instead of 120 or 60th (if you worry about motion blur or judder), try switching it to 1/100th or 1/200th while still using 60fps. There will be a shutter speed that eliminates it. Just for those shots.

Thanks for the tip, will have to try it out and see how it turns out.

I often take video at 30fps and just alter the shutter to 1/50th but at 60fps, you have to use 100th.

Actually, that is a very good thing to know. I usually preferred the 30fps but was annoyed by the flicker. Will see up if that will help me in the future. Thank you very much for that

Yes, flicker from lights looks really awful/distracting and is so easy to eliminate.

You can say that again about the first part of your statement, and glad to hear about the second one. :-)
