    A heavily compressed JPEG is hard to use to judge this.
    Perhaps turning detail down or off would help.

    Your right, but the dot are very easy to see even on this jpeg.

    Here another still.

    Meaningless because JPEG compression results in artifacts. At the very least use uncompressed TIFF files or other uncompressed frame for critical viewing.

    I would, but the upload image have a limit of 500k!
    And anyway the problem is clearly visible, the dots around the building straight line are not jpg artifacts, they are on the footage, and i never see that before.
    Have you ever see that kind of artifact on EX-1 footage?

    Thanks

    Those white dots around windows? Never actually.
    It almost looks like a “selection” in a photo editing program.
    Without knowing whether you had an extreme setting in your picture profile it’s hard to make any suggestions other than what I’ve already made.

    I’ve never seen this happen before.

    Do the dots move?

    Is it happening in other shots?

    You sure the dots aren’t objects on the building? 🙂
