PDA

96th St and Central Park West subway station, New York

The green banding is back…! I managed to get some of the color out of it but couldn’t manage the luminosity. Getting annoyed, Fuji!

  1. I should have known you would have thought of that, of course 😀
    My little Sony RX100 contrary to the Nikon, handles it all without even blinking… up to now, that is… 😉

    1. Yes, after the D300 I switched to the Sony Nex 7 for a couple of years and it’s auto white balance was also much more accurate than the Nikon (I had been a Minolta shooter since 1970 and loved my Dimage A1 and 7D digital cameras but wasn’t enamored of Sony’s early DSLRs after acquiring Konica Minolta, though they certainly seem to be playing a strong game now!)

  2. Strange phenomenon… !?!

    Have you tried playing around with your WB? Maybe some little electrician devil has replaced the lights with different sorts in the subway? But that wouldn’t explain the banding, would it?… :-/
    My (not so upper class) Nikon sometimes has trouble working with different sorts of light in one photo when the WB is on auto…

    1. Thanks – I don’t think it’s the white balance. It could be an effect of the flicker rate of the fluorescent lights in the subway and a slow shutter speed, perhaps.

      When I shot with a Nikon D300 some years ago I had to set the white balance manually for the subways as the auto WB was way off. Until recently, Fuji’s handled it much better.

    1. Yes, I’m going to have to do something about it. But since Fuji services messed up my X-T1 backup I don’t want to be without a camera for the couple of weeks a repair would take, so….

  3. Does it happen at certain exposure times under fluorescent lights? I have banding issues with my Olympus and my Sony sometimes when I’m photographing concerts…
