What problem do you see this solving?
As a symphony photographer, I am required to shoot electronic shutter. Most stage lights have made a transition to LED lighting and banding is common.
When I shoot sports, the typical fix is to switch to mechanical and activate the camera's flicker protection. Unfortunately, this is not possible when I need to shoot silently.
When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool?
I shot an outdoor night performance last night in very mixed lighting (LED stage, halogen follow spots, and natural light) and the LED banding was very obvious in post.

Current workaround
Are you using any workarounds or other solutions to achieve your goals in Capture One? When I first started shooting electronic shutter around five years ago, I used to bring it into Photoshop and follow a complicated workflow. I pretty much gave up since that workflow is not sustainable for event/concert photography. |
I also vote for this. I often find myself in a situation when I want/need to shoot electronic shutter e.g. event photography is a prime example, whether this be a concert, gig, club, or a wedding etc there are plenty of scenarios when a silent shutter is needed and often lowering the shutter speed so low as to get around the shutter banding is not a good solution.
I've seen workaround involving creating masks manually to cover the darker/band parts and address the issue in that way, but this is way too fiddly and time-consuming. A feature to analyse, mask and deal with this type of shutter banding, especially if it works well, would be an absolute killer feature IMHO
.
PS I am fairly certain that this would be a common request and the votes don't reflect this at all, unfortunately, but just given the vast amount of use cases I alone can think of where this feature would be useful and actually change the way photographers approach and deal with such a historic issue; it would undoubtedly be considered innovative by countless photographers, the next best thing to a global shutter.
Maybe there is a very easy way to do this with ai?! LED Flicker Banding is easy to train and even more easy to fix. Just add light, where the banding happens.
