The Great C100 Banding Mystery

Thanks, Dan. I've reached out to Canon and all they have to say is to send the camera in for a checkup on the sensor.

Looks like Barry has come up with a creative solution - brilliant! I'm hoping we can re-shoot the footage, but this is a fantastic fix and will definitely intercut nicely with the exisiting C100 footage. Really appreciate your insight on this, Barry.

Thank you all. Love how much help and support and thoughtfulness everyone has on this forum. :)

Nice fix Barry. It still looks a tiny bit "off" to me on the texture of her skin but the average viewer would never notice that. Very creative solution.

Hi, this "vertical Banding" looks to me like an electronic interference; if you have connected the camera with external equipment connected to power supply from the house (110V AC) without proper grounding, these kind of interferences may occur. (and the grounding should all come from one plug) I had the occurance of Bandings like this several times. (Ground loops, sound recording studios know these effects) Solutions: Power everything with Batteries if possible (instead of AC-powering)

I stopped powering cameras with AC decades ago, too many issues like you mention with picture and audio as well. I only power cameras with batteries.
