Question

Flicker video taken on an old Canon PowerShot

Aug 24, 2011 6:13AM PDT

When using a computer to play the video taken on this Canon PowerShot A520, the screen flickers a little bit, dark - bright - dark -..., about once a second or faster. Is there an easy way to fix it?

Usually too expensive to fix in post.

While some one might be able to correct it frame by frame, the time involved would be enormous. It's a sign to stop using that for video.
