Anyone ever seen THIS before? My sensor took a photo of itself! :o

So that's what a wormhole to another dimension looks like ... :D

Yes! :P

Looks more like classic flare. Directly across from the sun if are referring to the rainbow lines on the rocks. Common with many wides. 14-24 does this but curved. Same rainbow corner flare.

I agree it is flare but its flare that is a reflection of the sensor in the camera and I have never seen that before.

Have to assume that this particular lens or camera has a rectangular kind of exit-pupil baffel (or a lens adapter with internal reflections).

The camera is a Nikon D850 and the lens is a Nikon 14-24 f/2.8.. I guess it must have somehow reflected.

Denying the right of selfie to sensors would be unconstitutional.
-
Agreed!

The direct sun is pretty bright, and the area of the reflection is pretty dark........

I looked at my 12-24 and there is no rectangular baffle in the lens. The OP's explanation may be correct. The 12-24 is known to be prone to flare with a bright light source in the image.

Could that be the image of the autofocus array?
-
Is this a DSLR image? Was there any stray light going into the eye cup?
-
very strange. totally off the wall guess, reflection of the sensor off of the back lens element.
-
It's not a rectangle, just 2 vertical lines. It looks a little like a rectangle due to the shading of the rocks but I see no horizontal lines connecting the verticals. Perhaps Stephen could post a crop but normal lens flare I'd guess.

Thanks for your reply, it’s the sensor for sure and a perfect rectangle. Did you look on the left of the image?
I’m traveling for business and can’t crop the image for you until I return

I'll be interested to see a crop from the original, but here's a magnified crop from the screen and I really don't see any horizontal lines connecting the verticals. If it were a reflection of the sensor face then I think we'd see a change in the shadow density between the lines and I don't see that. Anyway, very interesting ...
