Canon EOS R - Banding

[Lbs26]

I trully hope the someone from Canon maybe see this post...

I have a EOS R camera with the latest firmware update 1.6 and i still have alot of banding in the long exposure photos.

I have tried:

-LENR-Long exposure noise reduction - does not resolve the issue

-Turn on and off silent shooting - does not resolve the issue

-trying to not underexpose too much,to not clip the shadows,and still after 2-3 stops of push banding is visible.

-trying to write to Canon - they told me that they do not see any banding,which in my photos is visible from 1 km.

I have talk to a few smart people and all this people told me that this problems comes from the Optical Black areas of the sensor.Must be calibrated the Raw files..i am not programmer and i do not know how to to this !

So...PLEASE CANON,do something...i have invested in alot of Canon glass,and i pay pretty good amount of money for this camera,i do not see any support ?!

You have shown already that in version 1.2 you have removed the banding,but not at 100%...plase release some new firmware or release some kind of CR3 to DNG converter that fixes this pretty bad image quality issues,show your support to all people who support you and buy your gear !

I am not asking help form YOU,i only want somebody from CANON to read this and invent a solution,because as i mentioned this can be fixed with calibration of the optical black areas,but thats not my job to do,it is Canon's job to do.
