Hi all
I keep reading about banding on the new mirrorless FF cameras from Nikon, Sony and Canon. It occurs when the shadows are boosted by several stops. It seems the cause is the PDAF sensors. It doesn't occur in DSLRs
This from DPR. It is first mentioned on the paragraph above the heading "ISO Invariance" and expanded upon as the article goes on.
I wonder the following.
Is this really banding or something else? Seems to me banding is not what's happening here.
Second, has anyone found it to be noticeable in their pictures? I don't know how many folk print nowadays but it would surely be more noticeable on paper than on a screen.
The venerable Mr Northrup is of the opinion that it is pretty insignificant on the Nikon cameras but intrusive enough to be of concern on the Canon EOS R. It occurs to a lesser extent on Sony but instead there is a weird blotchy noise effect ( maybe software covering up banding" ?) which looks even worse.
Any experiences?
