If you record a moving subject when using the electronic shutter or recording motion picture or
a 4K photo, the subject may appear distorted on the picture. This is characteristic of MOS
sensors which serve as the camera’s pickup sensors. This is not a malfunction.
This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera’s pickup sensors.
This is not a malfunction.
Are you taking pictures with the electronic shutter?
> When using the electronic shutter, lowering the shutter speed may reduce the effect of the
horizontal stripes.
If noticeable flicker or striping is seen under lighting such as a fluorescent or LED lighting fixture
when recording motion pictures, you can reduce the flicker or striping by setting up [Flkr
Decrease] and fixing the shutter speed. It is possible to select a shutter speed from [1/50], [1/60],
[1/100], or [1/120]. You can set the shutter speed manually in the Creative Video Mode. (P27)
When recording under fluorescent or LED lighting fixture, etc., increasing the shutter speed
may introduce slight changes to brightness and colour. These are a result of the characteristics
of the light source and do not indicate a malfunction.
When recording subjects in extremely bright locations or recording under fluorescent lighting,
LED lighting fixture, mercury lamp, sodium lighting, etc., the colours and screen brightness may
change or horizontal striping may appear on the screen.
When the ambient temperature is high or recording with [ ] ([4K Burst]) or [ ]
([4K Burst(S/S)]) of the 4K Photo function is performed continuously, the camera may display
[ ] and stop the recording to protect itself. Wait until the camera cools down.
You may not be able to record for a short while after turning this unit on when using a large capacity card.
When the ambient temperature is high or motion picture is recorded continuously, the camera
may display [ ] and stop the recording to protect itself. Wait until the camera cools down.
Depending on the environment at the time of motion picture recording, the screen may be
blacked out momentarily or the unit may record noise due to static electricity or powerful
electromagnetic waves (radio towers, high voltage power lines, etc.).
This phenomenon occurs when the camera is trying to record with highly accurate focus at a
reduced Auto Focus speed, and is not a malfunction.
The subject appears distorted on the picture.
Striping or flicker may appear under lighting such as fluorescent lighting and
LED lighting fixture.
The brightness or the hue of the recorded picture is different from the actual scene.
4K photo recording stops before finishing.
Recording motion pictures is not possible.
Motion picture recording stops in the middle.
The screen may be blacked out momentarily, or the unit may record noise.
Sometimes it is difficult to focus with Auto Focus when recording 4K motion pictures.
