Re: Banding Issues with Artificial LED Lights

Yes, I use MS which gives me slightly better results than EFCS (where many people on the internet say that both shutter types should be affected by banding in the same way, something that I cannot confirm).

I’ve seen some posts here on the forum, some of them more than four years old, but nobody seemed to have a satisfying answer. I hope some smart photographer can help me out this time.

I’ve also read several times that Philips Hue modulates at about 600 Hz, but this is also not true in my case. I can just point a phone with the camera app open at the light source, and I immediately see the effect of different shutter speeds on the screen without even recording.

It would be also good to know why I observe this behavior mainly on the R5, and why all of my smaller sensor bodies don’t seem to be affected by that issue (slower sensor and / or slower sensor readout time?).
