CAMERA WITH AUTOMATIC FLUORESCENT LIGHTING MODE
First Claim
1. A method for controlling operation of a photosensor array in a portable electronic device to reduce flicker resulting from fluorescent light having a periodic intensity the method comprising:
- selecting a time zone in which said device is to be operated;
correlating said time zone with a corresponding frequency of said fluorescent light; and
signaling said photosensor array to operate in accordance with a mode optimized to reduce flicker based on the selected time zone.
