Thanks your answers! You are right it was a high contrast situation of course, but this jpeg is converted from the Cr2 file by CameraRaw 2.4. I played with the different parameters to minimize the problem, and this was the best I could achieve.
(After many attempts I couldn't find such an example that would exhibit the problem in my browser like it did in a viewer. Browsers seem to smear things out. (maybe because they just throw away the color space info?) But here's another photo (ISO 800 1/30 sec at F4). It is also converted from RAW. (I shot this in RAW only.):
Please download this detail and examine it in PS or in ACDsee or in some similar program and not in the browser!
I will learn to live together with this problem, but I really haven't seen
anything like it on my F828 photos. Maybe the higher noise disguised it. And I still didn't try it out in print.
