So.... I just starting using the Z6. I was at a fashion show. There were two 12 inch led panels

at the end of the runway. Bright white light. Most of the pictures I took had vertical bands spaced across the pictures. When shooting form a different location not involving the led light panels, there were no vertical bands. Why is this happening? Attached are two examples. There were several photogs shooting, no one else was getting this issue.

The LEDs flickered at a frequency that alternated with the scan rate of the sensor. If you were using silent (electronic) shutter that would have exacerbated it greatly.

Its not just a Nikon thing, certain lights and E shutters dont mix.

Thanks for replies. Another person on social media also indicated that it is an issue with Silent/electronic shutter.
