Model C4900 Column Noise in Saturated Areas

Model C4900 cameras used in high temperature environments and exposed to light many times

brighter than the pixel saturation threshold, might exhibit sensor artifacts visible as dark column

noise in the saturated areas.
This is not a camera fault but just a sensor limitation, which varies from one camera to another.

The image below shows an example of these artifacts in a lighting setup which over saturates the

whole sensor.
