    Why does the image color/brightness change or show horizontal bars on my Panasonic HC-V270?
    • W
      william07Sep 23, 2025
      The color or brightness of the image may change, or you may see horizontal bars when recording under fluorescent, mercury, or sodium light. 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 60 Hz power, or 1/100 in areas with 50 Hz power. This issue will not affect recorded images in Still Picture Recording Mode.
