charge bleeding is a characteristic of CCD sensors, once the electron wells get
filled up you get these vertical smears as the charge "bleeds" into adjacent
pixels..its a hardware problem, can only be solved by limiting the exposure.
I suggest you do multipass with the Canon instead of a "long pass exposure" if
you want to capture shadow detail in slides.
