Hi Panasonic aficionados,

I just noticed some problem with my HPX 172 footage. My cam tends to shift color from time to time when I'm shooting, from greenish to reddish. The setup was this: indoor office setup, light source was ceiling mounted fluorescent lights. I used the whitebalance to conform to white with respect to my light source. My cam settings are on manual, Cinelike V scene settings.

There is not much change in exposure in the footage, what really bothers me is the color shift. From what I understand color shouldn't change if the light source is fixed, which I had in my setup. DId I miss out any settings that was left at auto?

Please help. Thanks.
 
Shutter speed. When you're shooting under fluorescents, if your shutter speed isn't set to the same as the power frequency, you'll experience this color shift.

For USA/NTSC, use a fixed speed of 1/60th. For EU/PAL, use 1/50th.
