Recording
Striping or flicker may appear in fluorescent lighting and LED lighting.
• This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera's pickup
sensors. This is not a malfunction.
• If you are taking stills using the electronic shutter, the striping may be reduced
by setting a slower shutter speed. (→64)
• When noticeable flicker or striping is seen in pictures taken in fluorescent or
LED lighting in video recording mode, you can reduce the flicker or striping by
setting up [Flkr Decrease] (→185) and adjusting the shutter speed. You can set
the shutter speed manually in the Creative Video Mode. (→81)
