•When recording under fluorescent or LED lighting fixture, etc., increasing the shutter speed 
may introduce slight changes to brightness and color. These are  a result of the characteristics 
of the light source and do not indicate a malfunction.
•When recording subjects in extremely bright locations or record ing under fluorescent lighting, 
LED lighting fixture, mercury lamp, sodium lighting, etc., the  colors and screen brightness may 
change or horizontal striping may appear on the screen.
 
•When the ambient temperature is high or recording with [ ] ([4K  Burst]) or [ ] 
([4K Burst(S/S)]) of the 4K Photo function is performed continu ously, the camera may display 
[ ] and stop the recording to protect itself. Wait until the cam era cools down.
•You may not be able to record for a short while after turning this unit on when using a large 
capacity card.
•When the ambient temperature is high or motion picture is recor ded continuously, the camera 
may display [ ] and stop the recording to protect itself. Wait u ntil the camera cools down.
•Depending on the environment at the time of motion picture reco rding, the screen may be 
blacked out momentarily or the unit may record noise due to sta tic electricity or powerful 
electromagnetic waves (radio towers, high voltage power lines,  etc.).
•This phenomenon occurs when the camera is trying to record with  highly accurate focus at a 
reduced Auto Focus speed, and is not a malfunction. 
Striping or flicker may appear under lighting such as fluoresce nt lighting and 
LED lighting fixture.
•
This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera ’s 
pickup sensors.
This is not a malfunction.
•Are you taking pictures with the electronic shutter?
> When using the electronic shutter, lowering the shutter speed m ay 
reduce the effect of the horizontal stripes.
The brightness or the hue of the recorded picture is different  from the actual 
scene.
4K photo recording stops before finishing.
Recording motion pictures is not possible.
Motion picture recording stops in the middle.
The screen may be blacked out momentarily, or the unit may reco rd noise.
Sometimes it is difficult to focus with Auto Focus when recording 4K motion 
pictures.
