I have a GH1 I bought from ebay that has very apparent banding after I hacked it. I tested it before and there was no banding. It appears mostly in low light. I've reloaded original firmware and nothing works. Stills look fine. Is my camera broken?
@shabram_2222 what do you mean "by locking the exposure"? Does it means "emory setting" for low light?
I've spent a few days testing the GH1 in low light by locking the exposure and I have to say I'm really impressed with what this camera can do. I have lpowell peak reliability settings hack and I love the result. Once I figured out locking exposure this camera turned into a really good one for me.
I realize now that that is how the camera is. I'm thinking of selling my GH1 camera body and buying a GH2, but I don't want to buy it if it has any banding issues. How is the GH2 in low light?
Yes, I loved my GH1 except for the awful banding which was most apparent in blue sky. I eventually moved on to my present camera, a GH3, and the very first thing I checked was susceptibility to blue-sky banding. Thankfully, I've never seen it in the GH3.
