Colored stripes
appear on the
monitor when
shooting.
Colored stripes may appear when shooting subjects with
repeating patterns (such as window blinds); this is not a
malfunction.
The colored stripes will not appear in captured images or
recorded movies. However, when using Continuous H: 120 fps,
HS 240/8× or HS 480/4×, the colored stripes may be seen in the
captured images and recorded movies.
