T2i Is my sensor broken?

[umuima]

Had a shoot last night with a lot of flash photography going off, and I noticed some strange behavior to my image.

Here's some (low quality) stills from the video.

Just wondering what causes this and if it's a problem with my sensor. Thanks!

Have you tried re-booting your software?

If you don't have the latest firmware, that might help as well.

No, that's normal.

Wow. Helpful and informative.

umuima, the artifacts you see are due to shooting moving images with a CMOS (rolling shutter) sensor, coupled with surrounding flash photography.

Very helpful! And it addressed an issue I have with my CCD camera when shooting into bright lights!
