Aaaargh - Fuji S3 Pro failing ?
took a photo last night then downloaded to computer and noticed a vertical "lazer" line 1/3 way across from the right :(
took other photos to confirm it wasn't a one off.. happens at ISO400 + , at exposures 1/4 second + Camera was originally bought in April 2006, replaced in May 2006 under warranty, so its about 1 month out of warranty - but I'm assuming that Fuji will honour - else its the "fit for purpose" route .... what do you reckon please ? http://www.mark-buckley.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/sensor.jpg http://www.mark-buckley.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/s3-1.jpg |
Buckster,
Sorry cant help. The first picture looks OK to me and the second is just black. |
Nope - I cant see it either :confused:

There's definitely a vertical line, but it's about 1/6 of the width of the picture from the left edge.
It appears to go from the bottom edge to about three quarters of the way up towards the top edge. Bruce C |
I can see it, most noticeable against the flat area of the blocked off fireplace in the first picture. Looks like you have a column of dead pixels. Send it of to Fuji and see what they say, you may be lucky and get a post-warranty goodwill repair. You've got nothing to lose except a bit of postage costs.

Yep I see it too.:( I'd follow Duncans advice.

thanks guys - off to Fuji tomorrow :)
even better someone on another forum suggested looking at old photos - I've found one from April when it was in warranty with the line ... its just I have't been doing any indoor/darker/longer exposure shots recently - hence I haven't noticed it. cheers, Mark. |
I see it 1/3 from the left. Try shooting RAW then view in conversion software to see if its the sensor output or a image processing anomaly.
I had a S2 pro for two years without hitch. |
good idea Stephen will try that later before I box it up ....
I hope it comes back in time for RIAT .... better had ! |
