  5D MkII random funny bars on the sensor

  Posted by Giacomo Sardelli on May 19, 2013 at 12:11 pm

  Hi everybody,
  Yesterday I was filming a very important event and while I was shooting I noticed strange horizontal wide soft greenish/yellowish bars on the image.
  I thought it was a LiveView/Monitor issue instead of a lens problem, as I couldn’t notice them in the viewfinder, but now I’m watching the clips and they are still there, so it must be a problem with the sensor. I’ve turned the camera back on today and the problem doesn’t appear anymore.

  The camera is rented, so I don’t now about previous owners/users.

  Any idea of what kind of problem it could be?
  Find image attached.

  Solved, seems that it was because the lighting source was a neon light, hence the flickering. I don’t know how to fix it on the 5D, though. I thought I was doing well by filming at PAL 25 with shutter spedd 1/50 (I was in Italy).
