How does CANON Banding look like?

Here are a few examples of the so called CANON Banding, just to show how it looks like. I had to stretch a lot to get some.

I am really happy, that CANON Banding is not an issue for me. But since I got an old article where i wrote about Canon Banding where the was none, I wanted to show how it really looks like.

Where does CANON Banding come from?

This is nothing I could really talk about. CANON Banding is a phenomenon that seems to be an issue on some CANON cameras in low-light, under-exposed situations. Some cameras seems to have more, other got less banding.

Here is an example of CANON banding at the Pleiades. This picture was shot with a CANON 1000D at 1600 ISO and an exposure time of 15 seconds. This picture was stretched to show the banding effect.

I never had issues with it. To make some banding visible, I found some old photos with very short exposure time and stretched them extremely. Those photos got asn exposure time of about 10 or 15 seconds. I have never seen CANON banding on any of my photos with exposure times longer that 30 seconds.

Here is an example of CANON banding at the Orion Nebula. This picture was shot with a CANON 1000D at 1600 ISO and an exposure time of 15 seconds. This picture was stretched to show the banding effect.
