Picked up an R5ii last week and finally got the opportunity to test it out. I admittedly haven't figured out all of the best settings for shooting - but I did notice all of the photos except for the initial two have the same bands / borders on the left and top edge. Any idea what these are? They seem to show up on every photo regardless of lens used (RF, EF adaptor, manual lens...) Do I have a faulty product, or have I overlooked some setting? I'm assuming it's a setting as all of the pictures are taken on the same day and the initial two seemed OK. This is a JPEG render from the RAW

Almost all Canon raw files look like that, so it is normal. Called masked pixels/optical black and are useful to set the right black level or to remove row noise.
This should be from my Canon EOS D30 from 2000.
It means your software needs to be updated to crop it out. If you see the masked pixels other things may also be off, like the right black level. Should be around 512 for low ISO and 2048 at higher ISO. If all your raw files show a strange colour cast, then your black level is probably 0.
