fixture.
• This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera's pickup

• If you are taking still pictures using the electronic shutter, the striping may be
reduced by setting a slower shutter speed.
• When noticeable flicker or striping is seen under lighting such as a fluorescent
or LED lighting fixture in the motion picture recording mode, you can reduce
the flicker or striping by setting up [Flkr Decrease]
