    Going through some of my recent pictures, I noticed this purple line and wanted to know if others have noticed it as well on their cameras or if I am doing something wrong. I am attaching pictures taken by two different lenses (35/120) so it is not a lens problem. It does not appear in all pictures but mainly in low light/pushed two+ stops. I do not see it at all when I have used good light.

    It sounds like you’re experiencing sensor readout artifacts or banding, which can happen in low-light situations, especially when pushing exposure in post-processing.
    Possible Causes:
    Sensor Noise & Readout Issues
    Electronic Interference
    Long Exposure / High ISO
    If this purple line consistently appears in dark areas or only after pushing exposure, it’s likely a sensor characteristic rather than something you’re doing wrong. If it worsens over time, it could indicate a developing sensor issue.
