BerndReini Posted November 14, 2009 Share #2 Posted November 14, 2009 Is this real? or am I falling for a joke here? I have never seen anything like this. Can you post another example and tell us what raw converter you are using etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you post another example and tell us what raw converter you are using etc. ...oh it's no joke...i'm not near my computer with pics so i can't upload any of the others yet..i'll do so later but the other four have similar variations of this and all are pupled out in the whitish grey sky area...and i converted them in LR 2.5... mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikelc Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share #6 Posted November 14, 2009 How about the Jpeg output from the camera? Thanks I...only shoot in RAW.....these 'spots' were on the raw files as well as on these converted jpegs... mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
viramati Posted November 14, 2009 Share #7 Posted November 14, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm no techy and am sure you'll soon get more informed replies but could it be a fault with the SD card and did you reformat it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stealthman_1 Posted November 14, 2009 Share #9 Posted November 14, 2009 I've seen this before...on BW film developed in crappy metal reels and the emulsion was allowed to touch...

jaapv Posted November 14, 2009 Share #11 Posted November 14, 2009 Could it be that you wet-cleaned your sensor and accidentally smeared it?:confused:Otherwise it is a sensor fault and I would return the camera if I were you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcg Posted November 14, 2009 Share #13 Posted November 14, 2009 There is another thread on the M9 forum complaining about a very similar effect - maybe less extreme. I saw it a couple of weeks ago I think although I am not sure exactly where Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted November 14, 2009 Share #14 Posted November 14, 2009 ...hm that's what i'm afraid of...obviously i didn't clean the sensor since it is brand new and this was it's maiden voyage so to speak....i bought it from David Farcus of DalePhoto who also said he never saw this and asked me to send him the raw files...none of the other files have it so I'm not sure what to make of that... mike It reminds me most of the sensor of my D2 when it died... Obviously this kind of defect is not easy to pick up in QC, I think the camera should be exchanged. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndReini Posted November 14, 2009 Share #15 Posted November 14, 2009 I would immediately go out with a different SD card and try it with a similar subject (tree branches and white sky), then maybe try two different raw developers and if the problem persists, immediately return the camera. I would definitely inform my dealer though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikelc Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share #19 Posted November 14, 2009 ...More confusion....i opened the files in Adobe Bridge and like in LR and in the converted jpegs the blobs are there...I then looked at the origional files which are on an external hard drive (a DROBO robot which houses several drives) and viewing the thumbnails expanded I don't see the blobs!......??? mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WPalank Posted November 14, 2009 Share #20 Posted November 14, 2009 ...Yes I am... That's the problem. There is a known problem with using a Power PC and LR which leaves that static in the highlight areas. I don't know if Adobe is even working on the problem. Here's a sample: Welcome, dear visitor!
