Horizontal lines with video, not stills

[cmegens]

With my camera module I get horizontal 'lines' on the video feed, both preview and resulting video files. It are not harsh lines, but more horizontal discoloration..

The weird thing is that when raspistill previews they are there, but the resulting jpg is perfect. Anyone else experiencing this? I can post a picture later...

You power supply might not be up to the mark, the camera consumes a lot of current, a power supply on the edge can work with stills, but not with video. Testing the voltage across TP1 and TP2 when the camera running is a start, but it doesn't tell the whole story.

Are you indoors with lights at 50Hz? Does the same happen with a outdoor scene?

It's both out and indoors. I'll try my iPad charger then, it should provide enough power. My current supply is 850mA, so it should be fine, but who knows

If it is a model B then 850mA is not enough with the Camera. I think the Pi alone draws 700 mA and the camera another 200 mA when taking a picture.

Which brings up the question of the polyfuse (F3) again. It is only rated for 700 mA (!) You can exceed that by small amounts and in short bursts, but the resistance will be gradually rising and the onboard voltage will be dropping over time, with sustained overload.

There's a topic about this already on this forum. I had the same issue. i I tried every little USB-based charging brick, and USB cable I could find, and still had the problem. I finally fixed it by switching to a Motorola 850MA charger which had an integrated USB connector on the end. No need for separate USB cable with this one. This was the only way I was able to fix the problem. Other people seemed to have success simply using a shorter USB cable, and others had success switching their power supply. Good luck.

The ipad charger works. Apparently the Raspberry Pi needs more power with the camera attached
