Horizontal bands appear on the screen. - This is a phenomenon typical of CMOS image sensors when recording under some types of fluorescent, mercury or sodium lamps. This is not a malfunction. You may be able to reduce the symptoms by setting > [Camera Setup] > [Flicker Reduction] to [Automatic] or by setting the shutter speed to a value matching the frequency of the local electrical system (1/100 for 50 Hz systems, 1/60 for 60 Hz systems).
