[QUOTE="chrisgl, post: 389938, member: 35308"] Hi I've been experiencing banding issues with my D5100. the banding tends to be really bad and noticeable on some shots - see below crop of an example image. Many others shots are perfectly fine though. I've boosted the contrast with photoshop to make the issue more visible, so it is not actually as strong on the original photos but it does notice on some prints. The banding appears in both jpegs and raw images. I have this issue mainly for sunrise/sunset high contrast scenes with clear skies so am aware that banding can be an issue sometimes with these but it just seems really strong and noticeable, is that normal? Could it be an issue with the sensor? do any settings affect banding/make it worse? e.g. for jpegs using Active D-lighting or using vivid colours with higher saturation/sharpening etc? I'm still fairly new to DSLR photography so if any answers to the above points are obvious I apologise, but I appreciate any feedback :) Thanks a lot!
