'Dead pixel' on sensor warranty?

[DTZ!] · 27 Aug 2007 at 20:42

Hey,

Just wondering if anyone has had experience with warranty returns/repair if you've had 'dead pixel' on camera sensor?

Just noticed a hot spot on my 400D :/

cheers

As far as i know canon can dial out the offending pixel.

If it's just one or two pixels then i would imagine most people simply photoshop it out.

If it's brand spanking you could try and return it to the store.

Not if it's brand new or still under warranty, send it back and get it fixed you shouldn't need to be be using PS to cover up camera faults!

Try doing a cleaning cycle (the one where it opens the shutter), it resets the sensor pixels and it fixed my red stuck pixel on my 30D.
