introduce slight changes to brightness and color. 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 colors and screen brightness may change or
horizontal striping may appear on the screen.
