Yomo Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I've had my Sony A7s for a year now and within the week of getting it noticed that I had a hot pink dead pixel smack dab in the middle of my sensor..I noticed this while reviewing footage after a long day shooting a short...I was pretty upset but mostly just because my brand new camera had a dead pixel on literally the first thing I used it onAfter doing some digging I found that the camera doesn't have a setting to fix this like other cameras but you can force the camera to remap the sensor which will remove the dead pixelI made a quick video showing how to do so: https://youtu.be/LP1M7vZRwb0 I've known about this for a year now but just never got around to making a tutorialI've had atleast a dozen hot pixels so recommend doing this every time you are about to use the camera for a shootHope this helps somone benymypony, Nikkor and dahlfors 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
