flickering barcode artifacts when recording in full frame 4k

it should be visible across all cameras

No not true. There are flickering artifacts on some bodies, I changed mine and have none whatsoever now. Stop spreading misinformation.

I have it preordered  We get it a month after you guys though.  At least an easy band-aid is scale 101%

Got a new body, this one without the artifacts, so it seems to be a hit or miss thing once again. Hopefully Sony will get out a firmware fix asap.

Some videos don't have it though, so I guess it's just luck in terms of what camera you get?  Or did the reviewers just get super copies...

I guess so, will try out a new body tomorrow in the store before I buy it, but I suspect there are a lot of units affected, unfortunately. Will keep you posted. It’s infuriating though with such a major fuck up.

Just picked up my A7III and can confirm the flickering barcode artifacts when recording in full frame 4k. Oddly enough they don't appear in the S35 mode. Will return it tomorrow. It seems to be easily fixable with firmware though. It's a shame because the image is lovely otherwise and the camera feels snappy and responsive, autofocus is great.

Looks solid up to 32000 ISO to me.
