Re: R7 and Macro

Edison base LEDs presumably flicker at 120Hz from the rectified AC. The amount of flicker may vary among makes.

I've used consumer LED "bulbs" for lighting, with EFCS on an R5. I didn't get any noticeable banding. Exposure times were 1/60 and 1/80 second.

I presume that purpose-made LED sources for photo work drive the LEDs with filtered DC. Those wouldn't flicker at all.
