Why is the color balance strange on my Panasonic HC-VX980M Camcorder when recording in a gymnasium?
When recording in a location with multiple light sources like a gymnasium, adjust the White Balance setting to (Indoor mode 2). If the image is still unclear, switch to (Manual adjustment mode).
How to fix remaining battery indication if it is not displayed properly on my Panasonic HC-VX980M?

Why does the color or brightness change, or horizontal bars appear in the image on my Panasonic Camcorder?
Color or brightness changes, or horizontal bars in the image of your Panasonic Camcorder, may occur when recording under fluorescent, mercury, or sodium light. This is not a malfunction. In Motion Picture Recording Mode, record in Intelligent Auto Mode/Intelligent Auto Plus Mode or adjust the shutter speed: when [REC FORMAT] is set to [24p]: Set to 1/50 seconds (50 Hz) or 1/60 seconds (60 Hz). Otherwise, set to 1/100 seconds (50 Hz) or 1/125 seconds (60 Hz). This issue does not affect Still Picture Recording Mode. Setting the shutter speed to 1/100 seconds may reduce the problem in FULL HD Slow Motion Mode and Slow & Quick Video Mode (on WXF990 series/VXF990).
