The images appear jerky
when the 1080/29.97PsF
or 1080/25PsF format is
selected
Operation is problem-free.
What happens with the PsF (progressive segmented frame) system
is that the same images as the progressive system are output by
recording the same images in field 1 and field 2 so that the resulting
images may appear somewhat jerky.
–––
Something is wrong
with the coloring of the
pictures
Activate the ATW (Auto tracking white adjustment) function.
P.19
In some situations, the proper colors may not be reproduced
using the ATW function.
In cases like this, proceed with the white balance adjustment.

P.76
The iris cannot be
operated in Night mode
The subjects appear
distorted
Since this camera uses a MOS image device, the shooting timing
differs slightly at the top left and bottom right of the screen.
This means that if a subject has moved quickly across in front of
the camera, it may appear slightly distorted.
This is not a malfunction.
–––
When the flash is fired
during shooting, only
the top or bottom of the
screen becomes lighter
With a MOS image sensor, the shooting timing differs slightly
between the top left and bottom right of the screen.
This means that when the flash is fired, the bottom of the screen
will become lighter in the field concerned and the top will become
lighter in the next field.
This is not a malfunction.
