Hi all!

I have noticed these weird lines going across the screen when iam filming or looking at the preview, i have only noticed in low light. It goes like this for a few seconds and then disappears. It does disappear if i move the camera also.
It does not always show up, only in certain scenarios, like the one in the video.


Anyone have an idea?
 
It’s shutter flicker/banding caused by a too high of a shutter speed when shooting scenes illuminated with certain types of lights, LEDs are a type for example.
Certain types of lights are not solidly illuminating (solidly on), but rapidly turn off and on (or rapidly dim and brighten). LEDs are notorious for that.
You may have to use a 3rd party app in order to lower the shutter speed under those conditions.
The electronic shutter also contributes to the problem.

Thank you for explaining it. I was afraid it was a problem with my camera.
