Hi Red Team,
I had a small idea which should be easy to implement regarding flicker free shutter settings.
Right now, to figure out the right combination of framerate and shutter angle to get a flicker free image, one has to make some calculations or have a cheat sheet handy, and even then not all the relevant shutter angle combinations are currently selectable in Red's options menu.
But how about if we as users had the option to set the local country's power supply Hz (kind of like setting between 50Hz and 59.95Hz in the PVW out menu), after which the right combination of framerate and shutter angle produced a new indication next to the number display, eg. FF (for flicker free), like so (yes, I know the particular combo below isn't valid but it's a visual example only):

This would mean that you could set your framerate, choose normal, relative or syncro shutter, and from there as you cycled through the shutter angles it would display the FF whenever it hit one that matched the flicker rate of your location. After that it would then be easy to use phase and sync to fine tune.
Thoughts?
