Pink line in RAW picture - Panasonic G9

[Ray3]

I keep getting a pink line in the RAW files I am shooting with my G9. This only happens when I am shooting in higher burst modes and with the electronic shutter. I have tried various things:
- different SD card
- different lenses
- reset the camera
- The further I zoom with the lens the bigger the line seems to get

The camera is brand new. Does anybody know what is going on here? Are there other G9 users?
I am really curious if it is the camera or Affinity. Hope somebody can help.

Are you selecting a Lens Profile?

If you're referring to the pink line at the bottom edge, it might be happening because the Serif Labs RAW Engine shows you the full output of the camera sensor, including pixels that the manufacturer considers unusable. You will generally find that if a manufacturer says the sensor provides X px by Y px, the sensor is actually larger and physically supplies a size larger in both dimensions. Other RAW developers trim the image to the manufacturer-suggested X by Y, but Affinity will show you the complete sensor data, allowing you to make the decision about whether the image edges are usable or not. If you find them unusable, you can simply crop them off.

This did not even occur to me. It should be at default, I will try to play with this a little bit. Thanks for your help.

Thanks alot for this explanation. So it is nothing to worry about. That really puts my mind at ease.
