p.1 #1 · EOS 1DMKII Strange Noise in Image


Has anybody experienced this problem before??
The noise now covers the entire frame. It started intermittenly, now it is happening in every frame.

Looks like your camera has a serious problem ---- perhaps in the readout of the data from the sensor, of the processing of it. You'll likely have to send it off to canon for a repair.

Ohboy. It might be worth pushing a firmware upgrade (or downgrade) just to check it, but it looks like you'll be sending off for repair. Definitely a data corruption issue but it could imply a hardware cause.

Agreed....it is definitely a job for Canon, looking to see if anybody has had the issue and what the Canon repair consisted of.

Have you tried replacing the memory card?

It seems a little like what Ariel Bravy had a little while ago...

Of course taking out the battery, memory card, all settings reset should come before a trip to the doctor.

OTOH, at least it isn't like this... I only had it happen twice, never any other problems.

Boy that was quick! No offense, but I wonder why one would even bother to post something on a forum like this if, after only two responses to your thread, you've decided to send it to Canon. I'd suggest send it to Canon.

Otherwise, I would have agreed Sakane and asked if you are getting these same results with another CF card. This looks much more like a corrupt memory card than something wrong with the camera. And ZA's suggestions to take some other steps before sending it in is good advice, too. But, I guess you're sending it in. Good luck.

Be sure to come back and let us know what Canon says.

In my original post I stated" Has anybody experienced this problem?" I never asked what anybody thought was the problem.
I was posting to find others with the same issue, and when it was repaired by Canon, what did they replace.
I've made the same post on other forums and received the same advice, but have not found anybody that has had this same problem. So I guess I am the lucky one to find a new problem with a 1D MKII.
I have tested both CF and SD cards, multiple ones. It shows up in processed tiffs and jpegs, and the battery has been in and out several times, as well as reseting the camera. When I get the camera back form Canon I will be sure to share the results, for anybody who has a camera take a dump like this one.

Yeah, I had a similar issue with my 1D classic. After being sent to CPS for repairs, the camera came back fully functional. $247 charge.

According to the documentation I got back, here's what they did:

"We have examined the product according to your request, and it was found that the part was inoperative. The part was replaced. Other electrical adjustments, inspection, cleaning, and parts replacements were carried out. Could not duplicate banding problem. As a precaution we performed digital adjustment. If problem persists, send it back with sample images."

I have no idea how they couldn't replicate the problem. Totally dumbfounded as the camera was completely dysfunctional when I sent it off. Perhaps it magically fixed itself on the way.

In any event, I'm not exactly sure what they did. The shutter count is still the same so I don't know if the shutter itself was replaced.

Hope that helps somehow.
