S5II / S5IIX. How to solve TV flickering? Works using GH5S/S1H.
Hey everyone, looking for some insight on a persistent screen/TV flicker issue specific to the Lumix S5 II.
In our studio setup, we shoot with a TV in the background. On our S1H and GH5S, we run in PAL system frequency at a 225° shutter angle and experience zero flicker across all monitors. However, on the S5 II, trying to replicate this or match equivalent shutter speeds/angles still leaves a subtle, persistent rolling flicker on the TV screen.
Switching the S5 II NTSC / 120° shutter angle reduces it, but a slight flicker remains, whereas our S1H and GH5S handle the exact same studio environment cleanly.
Has anyone encountered sensor readout or processing differences on the S5 II's that affect display refresh sync compared to older Lumix bodies?
Any specific Synchro Scan offsets, firmware workarounds, or menu settings we might be missing to get it completely clean?
