Green banding in picture

Today, for the first time I've ever seen it happening, the LCD is displaying 3 large green bands across the picture horizontally. They are showing up in the LCD, on the HDMI output, on stills and motion clips with two different Canon lenses.

This is new, haven't seen this before nor changed any key settings.

Anyone experienced this before?
 
So does this mean we are unable to use any kind of daylight flo's for our lighting? I came accross this same issue with my flo work light the other day.
 
Fluorescent and Daylight are two different things.

Elentronic Ballasted HMI's are fine, so are real Kino Flos as far as I've seen. However, fluorescent fixtures may not be.

For example: I have a fake Diva and a few 5500K CFLs that work just fine.

Wow, imagine my surprise -- I've been screaming about this for over two years now, yet it's still surprising folks...

DO NOT EVER USE A SHUTTER SPEED OTHER THAN 1/60TH (NTSC territories) OR 1/50TH (PAL territories) WHEN SHOOTING UNDER FLUOS OR MAGNETIC HMIs ON A ROLLING SHUTTER CMOS CAMERA.

Ever. Ever ever ever. EVER. I don't care if it's a 7D, a 5D, a GH1, an HV20, a Red One, a Scarlet, an HPX300, an NX5, an HMC40, it doesn't matter -- if it has a CMOS sensor, you cannot cannot cannot cannot go changing the shutter speed away from 1/60th. (or, if you're in PAL territory, 1/50th).


DO NOT USE 1/50TH IN NTSC TERRITORY THINKING "It's more film-like". It doesn't matter. If you're shooting under fluos or magnetic HMIs or any ballasted light source, Just. Don't. Change. The. Shutter. Speed. Away. From. 1/60th. Ever. Spread the word, people need to know about this.

You may now return to your regularly scheduled programming.

LOL. It always takes a few years for whatever you say to finally begin to seep through to the masses. It'll be a few years before the thoughts on DSLRs are finally "True".

What a cycle.

In all fairness, 40% of the question/topics posted on this forum are answered/addressed in the camera's manual...so if some people can't make it that far...
