Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GF1K Operating Instructions Manual page 181

> If motion picture recording stops during use of a card of at least "10MB/s" 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 (P36)
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.
Under fluorescent lighting, flicker or horizontal bars may be seen.
• This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera's pickup sensors.
This is not a malfunction.
• If there is marked flicker or striping when recording motion pictures in regions with a 60 Hz
mains supply, set the Flicker Reduction Function (P104) to [ON]. The Flicker Reduction
Function will then activate, automatically adjusting the shutter speed to 1/120.
A clicking sound or the sound of the auto focus operation is recorded in motion
pictures.
• This unit automatically adjusts the aperture during motion picture recording. A clicking sound
may occur at this time depending on the lens, and this sound may be recorded on the motion
pictures. This is not a malfunction.
• With certain lenses, the sound of the Auto Focus Operation is recorded when recording motion
pictures. In this case, we recommend setting [CONTINUOUS AF] (P98, 103) to [OFF].
• Operating sounds may be recorded when the zoom or buttons are operated etc. while
recording motion pictures. Also, the operating sound of the dial may be recorded when the rear
dial is operated.
Recorded image may be warped, or nonexistent colour is surrounding the
subject.
• Depending on the lens used, picture may be warped slightly or you may see colours along the
edge depending on the zoom factor, due to the characteristics of the lens. Also, the peripherals
of the image might look warped because the perspective is enhanced when the wide angle is
used. This is not a malfunction.
The flash is not activated.
• Is the flash closed?
> Press the [
OPEN] button to open the flash. (P60)
The flash is activated 2 times.
• The flash is activated 2 times. The interval between the first and second flash is longer when
Red-eye Reduction (P61) is set so the subject should not move until the second flash is
activated.
