Re: Weird black line/artifact in photo?

Hmm, where it shows (white line in the first photo, and black line in the second one), it seems to be in exactly the same place (I didn`t check thoroughly, but it seems so)...?

I don`t think it has anything to do with the lens itself. If I had to guess, I`d suspect sensor (readout) issue, or memory card (saving) issue, or something in-between, corrupting the image. It could hopefully be a temporary glitch as well, never to repeat again.

If it does repeat, it would be good if you can replicate the issue at will, seeing exactly what causes it - for example, EXIF viewer here shows that the first two photos (showing the issue) are shot at 1/20, while the third one (without the issue) is shot at 1/15... for whatever that is worth, if anything.

Do keep an eye on it for sure. If it keeps repeating, it might be needed to be sent in for the repair (preferably with reproducible steps to make it happen, but possibly sample images could be enough, too) - but do make sure to change your SD card first, just in case.
