After looking at the high ISO sample images published at photography blog [bit.ly/1CAbV98], we have spotted some un-usual noise bands in the recently announced Panasonic GF7 images.
As you see above we have arranged high ISO test images in order of increasing ISO range, your eyes will also detect the presence of noise bands in GF7 images starting from ISO 12800 and deepens further at ISO 25600.
We don’t know this problem is limited to a particular model / batch of models or all the GF7 mirrorless camera.
Also share your thoughts and views in this issue.

I’ve seem these same noise bands when shooting on low lux (artificial light) using the electronic shutter.
Oh, sorry. I have a Panasonic DMC-GX7.
It is the same story with GM 1/GM 5: low artifical light – forced electronic shutter reults in a variety of more or less crucial banding like seen in these samples.
Silly article. This is a known issue with e-shutter and artificial light, caused by flickering light and the relatively slow read-out from sensors using an e-shutter. It’s not limited to any one camera model or brand.
