I wondered if the 12-row blocked readout in the Nikon Z9 caused visible artifacts with ordinary household LED lighting. I set the Z9 shutter speed to 1/32000, which is the worst case, put a 105/1.4 on the camera, and aimed it at my usual 120 Hz LED. I made a bunch of images, and didn’t see any problems.
