Don't know if this should be in the camera section or the lens section .....

This sample is of a night shot that i took at night @f16 on the above lens. Does anyone here know what these circular bands are ???. Its present on Raw files when i try and crank the exposure up a little in post.  It happens with or without a polarising filter as i thought it might have been from some sort of glare from the diaphragm on the sensor.

Any ideas ???

maybe lens glare? does same happen in video? what about different lens?

Some form of glare was my inital thoughts too, but don't have a second lens to test with it just now.

What's really strange is the out of Camera JPG's are not affected and only the raw files as i shoot both raw/jpg at the same time.

Have tried it in a few different software packages like camera raw/ lightroom and on1. They all have the profiles for this lens so its not down to software i don't think ?

I'm shooting with the same setup and keep getting these green orbs.

Shading compensation just fixes the vignetting I think?

It's a circular pattern applied to the RAW data before writing the RAW file in an attempt to fix vignetting. But it's not perfect, so it can cause what appears to be a circular banding - Especially when the exposure is heavily pushed in post.

nice, I saw this just now

What do you think about chromatic aberration correction?  turn it off?

Not sure. I don't know if the CA correction is only applied to the JPEG, or if it is also applied to the RAW file. If the latter, you could turn it off if you want to do it yourself. But it shouldn't be anywhere near as bad as the vignette correction can be for underexposed images as CA tends to occur in high contrast areas.

Does CA and Shading Compensation affect video?

I heard that the CA correction is exclusively applied to the JPEG. However, I'm not 100% sure.

    • Digital sensors do not suffer from reciprocity failure in the way film does, they are linear. Cameratose's suggestion is the most likely. Also with such long exposures, there could be subtle changes in lighting levels between the two shots taken at seperate times, that the human eye could not perceive.
    • I can only speak of the A7c. I owned a A7 and a A6000 but wanted a silent shutter mode for street, so opted for a A7c. Combined with a 35mm prime lens it is wonderful for what I bought it for. The newer larger capacity battery is also great. But the thing that blew me away, was one evening I photographed a fast moving night event. I was shooting at 16000 ISO to freeze the movement. I was blown away by how good the images were, sure there was grain in the shadows but in no way was it offputting. The previous year I had shot the same event at 8000 ISO on my A7, and the results were way too grainy for my liking. The build quality of the A7c is really good, whilst small it feels strong and rugged. It does have it's downsides though: The view through the viewfinder is small compared to the A7 and sometimes on detailed street scenes from a distance it can be difficult to pick things out through the viewfinder (I can't use the rear display, I would need to keep putting reading glasses on  ). As someone has mentioned, it can be too small for some, they are not very tall and with big hands the last two fingers may have nowhere to go I imagine (not a problem for me). I have just bought a Sony 24-105 F4 G lens to go with mine and it does feel "all lens" on the A7c, that doesn't bother me, probably because I used to own a Sony Cybershot DSC-F717 which was "all lens" and I loved it's handling. You sort of devlop a technique where you hold the lens and steady the body rather than the other way around. If you can, goto a dealer and try them all out. I would recommend trying different lenses on each to see how they handle (small compact, long thin and medium stubby). I am sure you will be pleased with whichever you go for.
