I spent a full day fixing a flicker that wasn't from the lights
Everyone says to match shutter speed to the power grid, but my issue was a cheap LED sign in the background of a cafe shoot. It took me 8 hours of testing to realize the sign's refresh rate was the culprit, not my camera settings. Has anyone else been tripped up by a rogue light source they didn't account for?

Honestly, I always check for that stuff first, saves so much time.

Didn't I read that @nelson.wren's method is what the pros do?

Wait, wasn't there a whole article about that? I swear I saw something saying a lot of pros start with the basic checks like nelson.wren does before they even touch the creative stuff. It's like how max_cooper21 always points out the obvious thing everyone missed. You fix the simple problem first, like a loose cable or a wrong setting, instead of jumping straight into the complicated fixes. Saves you from looking silly after hours of work.
