Tiny spots in white, red, blue, or green appear on the screen.
• This phenomenon appears when using a slow shutter speed (p. 32). This is not a malfunction.
The subjects passing by the frame very fast appear crooked.
• This is called the focal plane phenomenon. This is not a malfunction. Because of the way that
the image device (CMOS sensor) reads out image signals, the subjects passing by the frame
rapidly might appear crooked depending on the recording conditions.
Horizontal stripes appear on the image.
• This occurs when recording pictures under a fluorescent lamp, sodium lamp, or mercury
lamp. This is not a malfunction. This can be improved by changing the shutter speed (p. 32).
The image appears divided horizontally.
• This occurs when you light the subject using a flash. This may be avoided by using a shutter
speed as slow as possible (p. 32).
• You may try using the “Content Management Utility” software on the supplied CD-ROM to
repair the image.
Black bands appear when you record a TV screen or computer screen.
• This can be improved by adjusting the shutter speed (p. 32).
