Canon has made a statement regarding concerns that have been raised about the EOS 5D Mk II. The message addresses the widely discussed ‘Black Dot’ and ‘Vertical Banding’ issues that have been reported by current and prospective owners who have been studying the camera’s output.
The company says it is looking into both issues and is planning to develop measures to reduce or eliminate these phenomena.
Canon statement:
We have learned that some users of the Canon EOS 5D Mark II digital SLR camera have identified two types of image quality phenomena that appear under certain shooting conditions.
1. “Black dot” phenomenon (the right side of point light sources becomes black)
2. Vertical banding noise
We are currently investigating and analyzing the causes, and examining measures to reduce or eliminate these phenomena by providing correction firmware. An announcement will be made on www.canon-europe.com as soon as measures have been determined.
