    How to fix colour or brightness changes, horizontal bars, or flickering LCD on my Panasonic HC-VX878 Camcorder?

      vickiecarrollSep 8, 2025
      If you notice color or brightness changes, horizontal bars, or a flickering LCD monitor indoors while using your Panasonic Camcorder, switch to Intelligent Auto Mode or Intelligent Auto Plus Mode in Motion Picture Recording Mode. Alternatively, set the shutter speed to 1/100 in areas with a 50 Hz power supply, or 1/125 in areas with a 60 Hz power supply. In FULL HD Slow Motion Mode, setting the shutter speed to 1/100 seconds reduces the intensity of the problem. Note that in Still Picture Recording Mode, these issues will not affect the recorded image.

      Richard HuffmanSep 6, 2025
      If your Panasonic Camcorder turns off when you turn off the TV using the TV remote control, the VIERA Link function is enabled. If you are not using VIERA Link, disable it by setting [VIERA Link] to [OFF].

      Elizabeth ClarkSep 5, 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.

    Why does the color or brightness change on my Panasonic Camcorder, or why do I see horizontal bars?
    • J
      jordanteresaSep 4, 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.
