I have received suggestions it’s Vogon poetry, translated by a Babel fish suffering after-effects of five too many Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters. :fedup: :lol:

For this type of shooting you have to admit that not only keeping the bird in the frame is enough. I saw a lot of gorgeous images of wildlife taken with K3/K-3 II and I owned K-3 II. I tried also K1 with these new lenses and the af is decent enough for a lot of applications. I hope to have the chance to use a K-3 II with the new lenses and see if K1's af is better. With new lenses K1's af feels faster and more precise than K-3 II's af with older lenses (like DA* 300f4, DA 70mm Limited, etc.).
Later edit. When he was asked how he will take wildlife images if he is not going to use Nikon anymore his words were: my name is Mircea Bezergheanu and I'm an wildlife photographer. Give me any camera and a lens and I can prove that to anybody. I can take wildlife images even with a hair dryer. :D
It's just that he needs to put a little more effort with some cameras, that's all. :)

Yes, it absolutely depends on the image. Notorious examples are wide angle shots of open blue sky in an 8-bit image with compression.
All JPEGs are lossy. By "low or no compression", I meant from a user interface point of view.
Of course, little of that has to do with the OP's concern.
Threads related to banded preview images in FastStone have a history on this site going back almost a decade. The conventional "fix" is to point out the problem and suggest processing the RAW with settings that are unlikely to produce banding.
FWIW, as noted in the original post,the OP participated in a recent thread on the same subject. The examples and explanations on that thread are pretty good. This one pretty much tells the story:
