●
Has [High Sens.] in the Scene Mode been set? If so, the resolution of the recorded picture
decreases slightly because of high sensitivity processing, but this is not a malfunction.
Striping or flicker may appear under lighting such as fluorescent lighting
and LED lighting fixture.
●
This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera’s pickup sensors.
This is not a malfunction.
