Part or all of a recorded image is yellow, or belt-like contrast is recorded.
This problem may occur in the kinds of situations described below. Read on to confirm the details.
Still images:
- When pictures are shot under lighting conditions such as fluorescent, sodium-vapor, mercury-vapor, or incandescent lighting
- When a low-intensity flash is used with high-speed sync at a high shutter speed

Still photography:
A phenomenon like this may occur when pictures are shot under lighting conditions such as fluorescent, sodium-vapor, mercury-vapor, or incandescent lighting. This phenomenon is called flicker. If this phenomenon occurs, try the following.
NOTE: Some functions may not be available depending on the model unit.
- Adjusting the shutter speed.
NOTES: Shutter speed settings to reduce flicker depend on the power supply frequency in your region. We recommend that you set the shutter speed to 1/50 in regions where it is 50 Hz, and to 1/60 in regions where it is 60 Hz. - On a camera that lets you adjust the setting for the electronic front curtain shutter, select Off.
- On a camera that lets you set the Shutter Type, select Mechanical Shut.

When a low-intensity flash is used with high-speed sync at a high shutter speed, horizontal streaks may appear on the screen, due to tiny fluctuations in the amount of light emitted by the flash being captured. If this phenomenon occurs, try the following.
NOTE: Some functions may not be available depending on the model unit.
- Reduce the shutter speed.
- On a camera that lets you adjust the setting for the electronic front curtain shutter, select Off.
- On a camera that lets you set the Shutter Type, select Mechanical Shut.

If you use an LED light, horizontal streaks may appear in the picture due to high-frequency flickering. Use a video light specially designed for video recording when you want lighting.
