Why does the color or brightness change on my Panasonic HC-WX970, or why do I see horizontal bars?
- K
  Kevin OrtizSep 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.

  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].
