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 |

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 Last edited by Bruce Carson; 11-06-07 at 16:59. |

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.

You'll just have to sweet talk your dad into him lending you his Nikon if it's away for too long. Got my tickets in the post on Saturday, see you there.
