Banding on Z9

Pros and others who shoot under lights know this. AND now so do you.

I'm not sure why you target this post at me, I was just explaining that some cases might be more complicated.

It occurs with every DSLR/Mirrorless camera and not just a shutterless Z9 issue.

However, it certainly doesn't happen with the same extent/look for MS and ES, see this post https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/66343520

The solution on the Z9 works pretty much the same as a similar solution implemented on the Sony A1. No doubt Canon has a similar solution as well

When shooting indoors or in environments where there are LED lights and ad boards - one takes a few shots and looks at the images on the camera or ipad/iphone using snapbridge. Guys pros do this all the time. Since you have to select/dial-in a very precise shutter speed to eliminate/reduce the effect there are tradeoffs to make.

There is the Flicker Reduction ON/OFF (Reference guide page 518/519 stills and page 585 for vids) and now High-frequency flicker reduction option as well - which was added at the request of pro shooters.

Learn how it works, practice and then use it or don't use it -- that is your choice.

Just don't complain when you have banding on your shots and are using a Z9 v2.10 BUT chose not to follow the guidance or learn to use it correctly.
