Re: X-E3 LEDs causing LCD & EVF flickering

It is the nature of LED lights. They flicker at 60 or 50 hertz depending where you live. Older lights are more severe. Newer lights are better. 
I have noticed this on all my digital cameras to some degree. I have shot theatrical performances in silent electronic shutter mode and had problems with those lights. One set had a large moon covered in LED rope lights and each frame only showed portions of it to be lit. Only way to have it fully lit was to shoot with shutter at 1/60 or lower which is not ideal.

Is there a way to change the LCD/EVF refresh rates?
