TV Exposures


Some the situations that I am required to shoot involve TV screens;like radar images, LCD screens, computer screens. What settings or techniques can provide me with the best exposures. I'm trying to avoid capturing the TV or CRT screen's refresh rate.

  Television screens flicker at a constant 30hz so you should seek to shoot at 1/15th or 1/30th of second. 1/15th should give you the cleanest results (because of technical details I'm sure you don't care about) but try both settings. Either way whatever screen you are shooting, try to find its refresh rate and shoot at that speed or one half that speed.
