Q2 Error by Daniel Cook, on Flickr

Looks like a failing sensor 🤷🏻‍♂️

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

SD card maybe?

That is so strange, were these random images or was there a sequence of them in a row that had this. My guess it is  a write error, not a sensor fault.

Yikes. I’m very sorry to see this. It’s time for some experiments. Different speed SD cards? JPG and DNG? Super good luck figuring it out quickly. Wonder if this is related to the fast continuous read errors the latest rev. fixed. Have you installed the latest rev yet. If not, perhaps you should. Dang. Bummer.

It was a hdr series of three shots, a write issue sounds about right haven’t put on new firmware.

That's the Q2's Northern Lights Mode.

 

(I'd suspect the SD card first - looks like a read error of some sort.)

Or perhaps you're the first person to photograph 5G mobile transmission, Dan.😄

I had similar on some images last year with the Q, fortunately it was the SD card and not the camera.

The banding reminds me of the problem I (and Leica) had with the M9 and its battery management, c. spring 2012 (yes, 7 years ago), although in this case the coloured banding was across the short side of the image. The problem was fixed - after quite a long wait (presumably after a lot of collective head-scratching in Leica) - by a firmware update. Definitely not the card in this case.

A couple points to consider (I do not have the answers):

• Was the battery on your Q2 fully charged?
• Were images taken in quick succession?
