Have not ever had this fault appear with any of my hi-end Canon or Nikon bodies. Including a D800e. Primarily use Lightroom or Photoshop in post.

But my question is relevant:
Has anybody here with an important image damaged by this problem played with mitigation in post??

if you mean here at FM, I Haven't seen one here at FM. The OP has some links which includes shots which were ruined of what appear to be an engagement shoot, wedding and weddding portrait session.

That's enough to convince me to hold off upgrading my two D3s to D750 specially sicne I shoot events.

That being said; Knowing what you know about the black bandit, would you risk ruining an image or images of paid job?

I've had similar flaring with a d700 and 85 1.8g combo shooting backlit with the sun.

light-source needs to be a few degrees outside the frame, either above or below.

The images seen on Dpreview are useless or rejects. I would like to see a well exposed backlit image with this problem

The D750 Manual says don't shoot into strong light source. There is no problem at all.

So, trying to push (and in some cases, exceed) the limits of the camera and still expecting perfection?

I'm with you mshi. No problem at all. It's not like this "problem" only happens on the D750...

Here goes, top photo, there is a light source left of frame about 4 feet to the left of the photo on the wall, its a french door.

http://www.gcsportsphotos.co.uk/d7501.jpg

Second photo, as near framing the same as the top photo except i turned the camera upside down so that the right side of the sensor is capturing where the main light source is, ie the ceiling light, ive inverted and turned the photo for display purposes

http://www.gcsportsphotos.co.uk/d7502.jpg

left side of camera/sensor leaks light, right side doesnt.


Another general shot with the sun shining in from the right of the frame, but what's that on the left side at the top of the gate ??

If exploring these issues gives folks some enjoyment, why not? In the mean time, I'm really enjoying photos I'm seeing that were produced with the D750. My guess is that those who encounter this problem in real world situations will find a way to deal with it. In the meantime, those who want to calculate the precise location of offending light source are welcome to have their fun... a few degrees above and outside the frame on the upper left of the scene? Sounds good to me...

Hey thanks Curtis! I'm glad that you found my image "helpful"
I have to admit that I was chuckling when I first saw this thread, especially since it even has a name now (black bandit!) I shot about 1500 photos on a vacation with my D750 and not a sign of this "black bandit" guy. A lot of backlit shots too. I guess if I try really hard to find a problem, I will find it. So far, none. I'm loving this camera.

Well said, Curtis! I'm loving this camera too. I've shot many photos against the sun with no problems. I should post some of my backlit photos in the D750 thread sometime.
