Why does the color or brightness change, or why do I see horizontal bars on the image of my Panasonic Camcorder?
- T
  Terri HallSep 4, 2025
  Changes in color or brightness, or the appearance of horizontal bars in the image, can occur when recording under fluorescent, mercury, or sodium lighting. This is not a malfunction. In Motion Picture Recording Mode, use Intelligent Auto Mode/Intelligent Auto Plus Mode or set the shutter speed to 1/60 in areas where the power supply frequency is 60 Hz, or 1/100 in areas of 50 Hz. Note that in Still Picture Recording Mode, this will not affect the recorded image.

Why won't my Panasonic HC-W580M turn on or stay on, and the battery drains quickly?

  If your Panasonic camcorder won't turn on or the battery drains quickly, try fully charging the battery again to ensure it has sufficient charge. Keep in mind that battery life can be shorter in cold environments. Also, batteries have a limited lifespan; if the operating time remains short even after a full charge, the battery may be worn out and need replacement.

  If your Panasonic Camcorder cannot be operated even when turned on, or if it is not operating normally, remove the battery or AC adapter, wait about 1 minute, and then reconnect it. Wait another minute, and then turn the unit on again. Note that doing this while the media is being accessed may damage the data. If normal operation is still not restored, disconnect the power and consult the dealer from whom you purchased the unit.
