  If the live broadcast screen is not displayed on your Panasonic Camcorder: * Make sure the 'LUMIX CLUB' Login ID and Password have been input correctly. * Use a PC or smartphone to ensure the USTREAM account registration is complete. * Register and set up USTREAM from a 'LUMIX CLUB' linked service using a PC or smartphone. * The 'LUMIX CLUB' or USTREAM lines may be congested; retry the live broadcast after waiting a short while.

Why does the color or brightness change on my Panasonic HC-VX870 Camcorder, or why do I see horizontal bars?
- A
  Anna AdamsSep 2, 2025
  Color or brightness changes and horizontal bars may appear when recording under fluorescent, mercury, or sodium light. This isn't a malfunction. In Motion Picture Recording Mode, use Intelligent Auto Mode/Intelligent Auto Plus Mode, or set the shutter speed to 1/100 in 50 Hz areas, or 1/125 in 60 Hz areas. This will not affect the recorded image in Still Picture Recording Mode. In FULL HD Slow Motion Mode, setting the shutter speed to 1/100 seconds reduces the intensity of the problem.

What to do if my Panasonic Camcorder displays the error message “ERROR OCCURRED. PLEASE TURN UNIT OFF, THEN TURN ON AGAIN.”?
- A
  Angela SanchezSep 7, 2025
  This message indicates that the Panasonic Camcorder has detected an error. Try restarting the unit by turning it off and then on again. If the error message continues to appear after restarting, the device likely requires repair. Detach the power and consult the dealer from whom you purchased the unit. Do not attempt to repair it yourself.

What to do if my Panasonic HC-VX870 Camcorder unit is turned off automatically?
- K
  Kelsey PerezSep 13, 2025
  If your Panasonic Camcorder turns off automatically when you turn off the TV using the TV remote, it may be due to the VIERA Link function. If you are not using VIERA Link, disable it by setting [VIERA Link] to [OFF].

Why are images or sounds not output when my Panasonic Camcorder is connected to a TV?
- F
  Frederick AlvaradoAug 25, 2025
  If the images or sounds are not output even when your Panasonic Camcorder is correctly connected to a TV, or if the images appear squeezed horizontally: * Consult your TV's operating instructions to select the channel that corresponds to the input used for the connection. * Adjust the [TV ASPECT] setting to match the aspect ratio of your TV. * Note that during playback mode, audio is not output from the camcorder itself; adjust the sound on the TV.
