yiomo Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I purchased yesterday a brand new Sony A73 for an upcoming event. Today I checked the photos and I discovered a bright white dot on exactly the same place. Two of the photos I uploaded have been cropped, but the place is exactly the same on all of them. Is that a dead pixel? If yes, will they give me a new camera or will I have to wait for the shop to send it for repair/service? The shop is the official Sony retailer in my country.

scotchtape Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Return or try to remap it using the date trick. yiomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yiomo Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 thanks scotch tape. got them to replace it. The only downside is since these are old cameras they both had completely depleted batteries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yiomo Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 Got the replacement and it has more dead pixels on the sensor. Additionally the lcd has also dead pixels. What would you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yiomo Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 Ok, I was about to go tomorrow morning to return the replacement camera as it showed the above red blue pixels on the lcd screen and the below 6-7 white pixels on the photos. After several hours of shooting tests it seems that both the pixels on the lcd screen and on the photos have - for the moment- disappeared. How is that possible?

Avenger 2.0 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Is it not remapping dead pixels by itself after using it for a while? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
