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 the images or sounds are not output even when your Panasonic Camcorder is correctly connected to a TV, or if the images appear squeezed horizontally: * Consult your TV's operating instructions to select the channel that corresponds to the input used for the connection. * Adjust the [TV ASPECT] setting to match the aspect ratio of your TV. * Note that during playback mode, audio is not output from the camcorder itself; adjust the sound on the TV.
