Striping or flicker appears under lighting such as a fluorescent or LED lighting fixture.

The subject appears distorted.

•This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera’s pickup sensors. This is not a malfunction.

When a subject moves across the image very fast, the subject may appear slightly distorted.

•When noticeable flicker or striping is seen under lighting such as a fluorescent or LED lighting fixture, you can reduce the flicker or striping by setting up [Flkr Decrease] (P216) and fixing the shutter speed. It is possible to select a shutter speed from [1/50], [1/60], [1/100], or [1/120].

You can set the shutter speed manually in the Creative Video Mode. (P116)
