Re: pic: Digital cameras do strange things

ok, if you took the photo then you have a real puzzle on your hands, and as an engineer I expect you to do what engineers do and run some tests on that camera

maybe take photos of a white pole moving diagonally across the image plane, maybe one top to bottom, and one left to right.

Maybe the camera has two CCDs (to get higher resolution) and they are not perfectly synchronized?

Maybe there is a bug in the camera firmware that causes it to not read the CCD from top to bottom. Maybe the capture and hold circuit is not working correctly.

Maybe you had the camera in some weird priority mode that kept the arpeture closed down and slowed the effective shutter speed way down.

Inquisitive minds want answers! :^)
