GH3 - stripes/light band issue from LCD TV light
  • cinevoyeurcinevoyeur

    I was using my GH3 to record my mom watching TV and noticed some horizontal stripes/bands on the monitor and resulting footage. I am hoping this isn't a defect of the camera. Is this normal of the light emanating from an LCD TV screen? Has anyone else run into this issue? Would love to get some reassurance that this is normal characteristic from TV light.

    Here's link to my footage. You'll see the issue more clearly on the right side of the image.

    The camera is probably out of phase with the light being output from the LCD screen. I believe it is a product of TV screen refresh plus GH3 rolling shutter.

    Try changing the shutter speed. The TV refreshes its screen at a certain frequency, I've also had this effect when shooting a scene lit with a fluorescent tube.

    @DouglasHorn and @Liamness, thank you for your responses. Very helpful!
