Advice to Anyone who Shoots in Nightclubs...
Stinger 11 Oct 2010
Don't let this happen to you or anyone you know.
I shoot in a club that uses a laser and the thought of this never crossed my mind before. The risk is greater when using a camera's video mode. Forewarned is forearmed.

I was thinking that the recorder would be blinded instead but...woah, what happened here?

Lasers can leave a white streak across CMOS sensors. I've seen videos of this happen to Nikons and Canons. But yeah because Video is in Live View, your sensor is exposed a lot more. My G1 is mediocre in the dark so I doubt I would be in such a situation, but indeed be careful of lasers.

Woah, I have heard bright lights making vertical lines on the sensor but nothing like that in that scale yet.

Here's a thought in sort of a question form: Would a filter of some sort, say one designed to combat florescent light, help to cure this issue?

Did it unfuck itself or is it still broken? D:
nope it needs the whole sensor to be changed. $$$

not without severely impacting image quality

For one, you shouldn't be pointing optical-view devices at lasers in the first place I understand this one is an accident, though.

That video is an extreme case. Most times it leaves a line of unusable pixels not destroying the whole sensor.
