Good day for everyone!
A friend of mine have an issue with his M8.2 camera. Last month he make a picture and saw strange horisontal line in top left corner of the image
He don't make any notice for that untill situation repeated yesterday. Almost indentical line was founded again but in other place of the shot.
Both images was made on 1/30th of the second in cold weather (-10c). Right now images from camera looks nice and clean.
What it can be? Shutter dies or sensor? I listen your thoughts about this problem.

Low temperatures do strange things to sensor. If it takes normal pictures now, there's probably no long-term damage. I would avoid <0C conditions with the camera, though.

point source edge flare on M8
point source edge flare on M8
The black streaks are from "point source edge flare" ie bright lights on the image edge, particularly at night. Though I have managed to replicate quite easily in daylight. They manifest as thick dark bands...really not white light like real flare.
So to stop this problem don't have bright lights on the frame edges. Other camera sensors have this problem too sometimes.
Although I live in a warm climate (Australia) this problem, I'm sure, is nothing to do with camera use temperatures.
