Why does the color or brightness change, or horizontal bars appear in the image on my Panasonic HC-VXF990 Camcorder?

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).
