The specification and drawings present a new method, apparatus and software product for reducing flicker effects in electronic devices (e.g., a video camera, a camera-phone mobile device, a portable electronic device, etc.) by reducing an optical intensity of a video image received by the electronic device. It is determined by the electronic device whether a flicker light source is present and if predetermined conditions are met. As long as that is the case, an optical attenuation of a video image taken by the electronic device is provided using a predetermined criterion and a video signal of the video image is generated by the electronic device using an exposure time substantially equal to or a multiple of an inverse of a flicker frequency.
