i don't believe you can claim it is'banding' unless you see the same behaviour at other lit venues. Is this a peculiar one off?
it is only on the walls and always in exactly the same part of the wall not the same part of the sensor - this would indicate something to do with the lighting as everybody else comments too.
you do seem to have a lot of problems with 1d cameras!
I agree with you. Its obviously not an issue with the camera. I'm beginning to believe that the OP blames anything he can't explain or does not understand as a defect in the camera. If one has a propensity to find fault with the camera, then one's mind can find issue after issue. I hope the OP does not go down the path of having laboriously lengthy threads on something that is not likely a camera issue. He obviously has every right to do so, but I'll choose to sit this thread out.
The 1DX MKII "
Claims" to have anti-flicker technology to address the issue if the issue
is LED related.
Is this a
fail of the "anti-flicker" feature? My shots would say they are saturated by LED banding. In my world 2+2=4.
I use the 1DXMKII and 1DX is some of the most arduous circumstances and push the camera to its limits shooting 10,000 frames from fashion to sports.
"I" will see things that most will
not encounter based on repetitive, high-volume, stressful use.
From Mirror Box issues, Battery Issues, PCB Issues, CFast Card Issues, UI Issues, I've found these things early
prior to Canon Service Advisories and Firmware Updates.
Every time, Canon "Fan Boys" come out the woodwork like roaches when you turn the lights on. I take advice try things and if they don't work OK. I also try and help others, a lot.
Now here I am showing actual examples of issues with "Anti-Flicker" in a professional shooting environment, shared by other professionals and the "Roaches Come Out" as opposed to trying to overcome the issue and use a work around.
For those who don't shoot professional RUNWAY......
- You can't shoot at 1/100 the shots will be blurry during NYFW and you can't use flash. You've got to work with the light you're given. You prey the person who hung the room is actually a photographer and not a videographer.
- You can't shoot at 1/1000 and get usable ISO for magazine publication even at 2.8. The runways are not lit that way 99% of the time.
- The industry standard glass as "Runway Photogs know" is the f/2.8 70-200. 99.9% of us on the riser are using the same lens. The riser distance and model movement is set to accommodate this lens, most.
- If Anti-flicker is turned on AND IT STILL DOES NOT WORK, Perhaps some here would say... Keep your thoughts to yourself. Sorry Chaps.... I'm here to make the equipment work the way it's advertised.
LED's are
now the soup de jour. Everyone thinks they are a panacea and will dial in 2800 to 5600... Well.... Not only are the LED fluctuating at frequencies beyond specs but the "
anti-flicker" technology is also not reading the LED frequencies appropriately and adjusting the shutter.
My 1DX has NEVER had this issue is 5 years of runway. This is the "first" time I've experienced banding and my 1DXMKII has "anti-flicker" and my 1DX does not.....
So I posted here.... Turned on the lights and look what scurried out!
