GH2 Banding Issue Help?

[smoke23]

I was shooting an rave event last night with many flashing lights and strobes. I shot in 1080 24p, shutter speed of 1/50. I noticed a lot of banding. In reading, I just want to clarify that if I move my shutter speed down to 1/40 or 1/30 in these types events, this will take care of the vertical banding issue? Will I still get it when I say go up to 1/80 shutter speed?

flash banding happens on all CMOS cameras regardless of shutter speed.

Nothing you can do about it other than have no flashes, or cut out the offending segments. Which at a club could be just about all of it if they have strobe lights going off... The best thing if you will be shooting in those situations is to get a ccd based camera that has a global shutter. Panasonic HMC150 is the least expensive that I know of...

I've found shooting at 50i can sometimes clear that up. The downside is your using a lower bit rate.

Here is an example of what I shot: http://www.vimeo.com/26198553

I was shooting with a Nikon 85mm F1.8 lens. Any suggestions or is this really just a problem with all CMOS sensors in this type of environment?

As told above; yup. You can try adjusting the shutter, but there are probably just too many quick flashes to fix it.
