Phase IQ4 screen flicker

[vjbelle]

Since updating to the latest firmware (7.00.7) the screen on my 4100 jumps/flickers in live view at 100% pixels. Only happens when I move the image around and stops immediately but is 100% repeatable and extremely annoying.

Has anyone else experienced this or am I alone?

Thanks much.....

Nobody with a 4150 can tell me if their screen flickers?

Would like any feedback before contacting my dealer....

Thanks....

Mine hasn’t flickered in about 4 months. Last time I powered it on. I have noticed the issue since day 1. Commented to my dealer. But still see issue depending on light. Have latest firmware as of Jan 2020 not sure if anything else has been released. Once I re charge everything I will check again.

Thanks Paul.....

FWIW..... I rolled back to the factory firmware and then applied each subsequent firmware testing each one for this anomaly. My LCD is rock solid until the last update. If you have this issue then I'm pretty sure everyone does.

Hello Victor,

i documented the problem at Phase One Germany last year. They were able to understand it and confirmed the problem (I also have videos of it somewhere). For me, it mainly occurred on the Cambo with pictures with a high contrast range (e.g. sky / landscape) in connection with auto brightness in Live View.

Since version 7.00.7, I have not noticed it personally. But that doesn't mean anything - I haven't worked much in the past three months due to the crisis.

Greetings Gerd

We have not experienced any issues with screen flicker on our IQ4 with any of the firmware variations we loaded.

Hi Victor,
Sorry, I’ve had my head buried in a new printer so haven’t checked many forums lately. Interesting that my flicker / pulsing used to be a problem but I have not noticed it in a long while. I am on 7.00.7 but use live view in the mode that mimics the exposure. I forget what they call it. One of the modes suffered from flicker while the other didn’t. Maybe I am using the one that isn’t a problem.

My back is in the same live view mode - mimics exposure. In any magnification level once I take my finger off the LCD screen the image really flickers and stops immediately. Drives me nuts..... Only experienced this with firmware 7.00.7.

I'm not sure if this will help, but look at Page 52 of the March 2020 version of the XF/IQ4 User Manual.

Hi Bill..... the manual is referencing a different type of flickering which is associated with 60hz or 50hz light sources.

Oddly enough if I change my live view to 'Viewfinder' mode the flickering/jumping which occurs immediately after lifting my finger off of the LCD screen is gone. So, I am convinced that this is a software issue - but still annoying.

My IQ4 is currently being serviced but when I get it back I'll see if I can replicate the problem.
