    Why does the color or brightness change, or show horizontal bars on my Panasonic HC-V250 Camcorder?
    • Z
      zcooperSep 4, 2025
      Changes in color or brightness, or horizontal bars, can occur when recording under fluorescent, mercury, or sodium lighting. This is not a malfunction. When recording motion pictures, use Intelligent Auto Mode/Intelligent Auto Plus Mode or set the shutter speed to 1/60 in areas with a 60 Hz power supply, or 1/100 in areas with a 50 Hz supply. This issue does not affect still picture recording.
