Tiny spots in white, red, blue, or green appear on the LCD screen. • This phenomenon appears when using a slow shutter speed (p. 37). This is not a malfunction. The subjects passing by the frame very fast appear crooked. • This is called focal plane phenomenon. This is not a malfunction. Because of the way that the image device (CMOS sensor) reads out image signals, the subjects passing by the frame rapidly might appear crooked depending on the recording conditions. Horizontal stripes appear on the image. • This occurs when recording pictures under a fluorescent lamp, sodium lamp, or mercury lamp. This is not a malfunction. This can be improved by changing the shutter speed (p. 37). Black bands appear when you record a TV screen or computer screen. • Adjust the shutter speed (p. 37). Fine patterns flicker, diagonal lines look jagged. • Adjust [DETAIL] to the negative side (p. 87). The timecode is not recorded in sequence. • The timecode may not be recorded sequentially if you change the settings of [REC FORMAT]. Continued , 93
