• The lens is dusty on the surface. Clear the lens and check the focus.
• Recording is being made in a dark location. Use a light to brighten the
area.

flickering, or changes in colour.
• This may occur when you make a recording under a fluorescent sodium,
or mercury lamp. Cancel “Scene Mode (AE)” to avoid or minimise this
phenomenon.

The subject passing by the frame
very quickly appears to bend.
• This is called the focal plane phenomenon. This is not a malfunction.
Because of the way the image device (CMOS sensor) reads out video
signals, the subject passing by the frame rapidly may appear to bend,
depending on the recording condition.
