  • Canon 7D HD video horizontal lines problem

    Hi all,
    I am having this problem with the video footage i am recording lately!

    Horizontal Lines ripple through the video now and again especially during panning or high levels of movement

    Set up:

    Canon EOS 7D
    EFS Lense – 18mm-135m
    32GB SanDisk CF Card

    Settings:
    50 Shutter Speed
    1920 x 1080
    25 FPS

    I am also getting this problem with my Canon 550D,
    I think it may be the iso settings or the lenses?

    If anyone could shed some light as to why I may be getting this problem or can share their knowledge on how to fix or avoid this that would be greatly appreciated!

    Oh this is being caused by the fluorescent lighting in the room and the interaction between your camera’s frame rate and the electrical system 100v or 220v.

    There have been many discussions on this issue here on this forum and elsewhere, just do a search on fluorescent light and horizontal banding and you should come across those posts. One of the most frequently asked questions here for sure.
