Nor does it appear to be lines caused by a faulty photosite/sensor board most visible at high ISO/sensor hot. Possibly a writing issue (card/buffer/?) which is entirely a guess. I suggested that he show Customer Service for an opinion ASAP. Nathan's camera would have had twelve months warranty on all functions folowing the repair of corrosion earlier. I hope this is within that window for him.
