Showing an example of the green streak problem,
scott
Nope. There were much more frequent streaks seen from bright lights within the frame in the first months after product release in 2006, but a hardware recall fixed those and they haven't reappeared. The "green streak" is much rarer. Furrukh Khan (an engineer, of course) set up a camera on a tripod, and determined by turning the camera in very small steps that the angle in which it occurs was only a degree or so wide. I've only seen one green streak in about 9000 exposures. This appears to be a sensor issue that firmware isn't going to make go away.i understand that this only happens when a light source is at the edge of the frame as pictured in the attachment.
i thought this issue was corrected in the later m8's.
