Why do my Panasonic Digital Camera videos flicker or have horizontal lines?
If recorded motion pictures flicker or horizontal lines appear in recorded movies on your Panasonic Digital Camera, this may occur when recording with [1280k720/120fps] or [848k480/ 240fps] in [SLOW MOTION] under fluorescent lighting.

In [SLOW MOTION] mode, a microSD card with a SD Speed Class Rating lower than Class 6 can cause recording to stop suddenly.
