That's interesting. The artifact is very much like one I saw on my first K7, which went back under warranty. In my case, the band was light, not dark, and happened in every frame mostly taken out doors. I wonder if there could be a subtle or latent flaw in the sensor that is susceptible to

I agree with Bruce regarding it likely being RFI interference of some kind. While you obviously can't completely cover a camera, I'd be interested in creating some kind of RFI shielding wrap that would leave the lens exposed and see if that helps. (Obviously, this would work best with the camera

BTW, what happens to it if you use a noise reduction filter on that image? An artifact like that should be perceived as noise and greatly reduced. It is electrical, but I was told that it was a fluorescent artifact -- albeit an electrical one. I've not attempted any noise reduction. Are you
