Sudden Hot Pixels in my 7D
      #616372 - 24/02/2008 18:59

Hi,

As anyone else experienced this with their 7D? My 7D only sees light of they in very few occasions as it as also sentimental value to me and today all of a sudden after a few shots it showed 3 hot pixels that do not go away and this was with exposures of 1/4 to 1/20 which with this camera is unheard of. I could expect a few at very long exposures but not this. Any suggestions,thoughts?

Thanks,

Well it is not as bad as it seems I just found out. The camera sorts itself out. If you have stuck or hot pixels, the Minolta sorts this out once a month. I have googled it and found out that to start this process manually, you set the date a bit further than the 1st of the next month, take a shot, switch off, and the camera will take longer to switch off...why? It is remapping the pixels!! I have just done it and the hot/stuck pixels are not there anymore. Man, if my camera was a woman.......
By the way, do think the type of dust ( as my camera had some in the sensor) can cause what may look like stuck pixels or hot pixels? Because one or two were pink/red colour.
