Yellow Band

The fact his band appeared top, middle and bottom made me think of the shutter.

I never even heard of this phenomena before but it seems to be the case for all digital cams when the circumstances are right (or wrong).

Looks like my issue. Would this happen with any camera? I have never seen this in my photos before. Exchanging the camera would probably not make a difference then. All of my shots were under flourescent lights. I will try different lighting later.

It never happened to me either but when searching I noticed a Canon guy talking about the same problem so it is not Nikon or D750 specific.

Try shooting slower than 1/100s. It seems that should work for that light to avoid the color cast the cycling triggers.

All lighting that is driven by an AC (Alternating Current) system will have the same issue. Some may exhibit less, some may be more pronounced.

If the yellow bands only appear when shooting in artificial light, then there's the issue.

No reason other than it was just out of the box and I guess it was set that way. Of course this makes no sense otherwise. Never used under normal circumstances.

Earlier this spring while photographing the local high school drama, they showed a video of the students that was shot in one of the fluorescent lit hallways. I took photos during the video, and when I saw this image on the LCD, I took a step backwards muttering wow! It caught me by surprise. When I posted on here, the conclusion was that the effect was also due to the fluorescent lights. A lot of the photos were part pink and part green, but this one was very different--supposedly due to the flicker effect of fluorescent lights.

The older ones amongst us may remember if you wanted a picture of the old tube TVs you had to use a shutter speed slower than the screen refresh rate to avoid a black bar.
