Is this rolling shutter?

Was shooting with my recently acquired R5. Took almost 800 images and maybe 8 were only half there. Have read about rolling shutter problem. Was using electronic shutter.

Not sure but, I have seen an example of the photos going on a slant/diagonal from bottom left to upper right once in some samples. Probably a panning sequence.

The border dividing dark side from light side is too crisp to be caused rolling shutter.

Thaz not rolling shutter at all. Gentle soft edged shadowy banding would be rolling shutter, and ONLY with pulsed artificial light. No such effect at all in daylight.
Your result is similar to synchro-sun fill flash, in daylight, at the wrong shutter speed. Similar but its characteristics are not really a good match for that either.
The only other thing rolling shutter does is motion distortion, way different from your example.
You seem to have a definite hardware or file writing malfunction. Hopefully a very verrrrry rare fluke. Such odd things can happen to gear thaz in perfect operating condition. It’s not usually a precursor of an impending breakdown.

Thanks to everyone who responded. I have not had this problem with the R6. Might be operator error.

I'M betting its from too slow shutter speed when using flash

Just don’t bet too heavily. A nickel or dime, but wasting any folding money would be kinda tragic.

To my eyes the lower section looks to be missing most of the green channel. I think this would indicate a hardware issue rather than exposure/shutter issue. You should be able to investigate this more in your PP software.

If using a flash, perhaps the opposite? From the article, "You can clearly see that the flash synced at speeds up to 1/125, but at 1/250 there is the start of a black band along one edge and at 1/2000 the frame is completely black. With some lower cost remote flash triggers, you would even see the black band at 1/125, so you would need to set your shutter speed to 1/80 sec. or 1/60."

Yes, well, at least the information in the article is a good discussion for the use of flash and sync speed. I often use flash and high-speed shutter and tight lens to take photos of flowers to discard the sunlight from the photo. That is to say, if I did not use the flash with my f and speed the total photo would be significantly underexposed. With flash, the inverse square law underexposes things farther away from the flash
It is good that we in UHH have our Sherlock Homes hats on and debate the clues to solve mysterious events.
The rolling shutter effect is typical when taking a photo of a fast moving object. The front of the car is taken first and the rear is not in the same place because it has move in relation to the front when the camera eventually [short eventually] gets around to see the rear. One example is in video when taking a photo in which there is a propeller... tho, in reality, it is straight, in the video it appears that the blades are hooked.

No. Looks more like a sync problem.

I think you're on to something there. It does look like the bottom half just didn't have the green channel.
