A small group of us discussed and measured but our results were not verified by Leaf. The conclusion was the sensor is not actually full frame it is 2 smaller sensors that uses software to stitch the image together. Answers why left and right sides never matched perfectly for color or density, similar to issues with Apple monitors. It made sense to me but no one at the higher levels of Leaf would confirm although a lower lever person confirmed this not on the record of course.
Thanks Dave
Ps this line is through the longer side of the file correct?
Not sure where your information is coming from. However the sensors are NOT made out of 2 smaller sensors as it is not possible to physically stitch sensors without leaving a visible gap; such a gap might be acceptable for applications such as astronomy but not for the more common applications.
The term "full frame" refers to the way in which the data is being read off the sensor and not to its structure. Full frame readout as opposed to Interline readout. Large sensors are made as a single piece using s stepper
The issue you refer to was known as "centrefold" and was related to using wide angle symmetrical view camera lenses with high resolution sensors. It was well documented and addressed through a software solution: custom lens calibration and later on improved algorithms which were implemented in both Leaf Capture and Capture One
As Drew has already pointed out, some of these advanced algorithms cannot be implemented in the back without sacrificing speed, which is why, in certain condition, you may still see such lines on the LCD
