Panasonic DMC-FZ150 194, Motion picture recording stops in the middle, Object seems to be warped

Others

The brightness or the hue of the recorded picture is different from the actual scene.

•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.

Reddish horizontal streaks appear on the LCD monitor during recording.

•This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera’s pickup sensors. It appears when the subject has a bright part. Some unevenness may occur in the surrounding areas, but this is not a malfunction.

It is recorded in pictures or motion pictures.

•It is recommended that you take pictures while taking care not to expose the screen to sunlight or any other source of strong light.

Motion picture recording stops in the middle.

•Use a card with SD Speed Class with “Class 4” or higher when recording motion pictures.

•Depending on the type of the card, recording may stop in the middle.

>If motion picture recording stops during use of a card of at least “Class 4” or if you use a card that has been formatted on a PC or other equipment, the data-writing speed is lower. In such cases, we recommend that you make a backup of the data and then format (P60) the card in this unit.

Object seems to be warped.

•Object seems to be warped slightly when the object moves across the image very fast, but this is because the unit is using MOS for the image sensor. This is not a malfunction.

Zoom does not operate properly.

•Is the [CONVERSION] (P127) set to [ ] or [ C ]?

The zoom cannot be controlled with the side lever.

•Has [SIDE LEVER] (P52) been set to [FOCUS]?

>Set [SIDE LEVER] to [ZOOM].

Subject cannot be locked. (AF tracking not possible)

•Set the AF area to the distinctive colour of the subject if there is a part that is different from the surrounding colour. (P119)
