Hi Everyone
Just picked up a new 5d Mark III and would like to test it quickly to make sure all is in order. Specifically, I'd like to test for any dead pixels. I know such things can be edited out of images in Photoshop, but I'm more concerned about dead pixels affected video footage as those aren't so easily removed.
I'm a 5D classic user and new to video on the 5d. What would be a good quick test to check for such pixel problems -- shoot a short shot against a dark background? white background? Then, check for white or colored pixels that remain fixed in the image? Is there a particular resolution I should be shooting at to evaluate?
Should I see any in the still imagery, I'm aware of the manual sensor cleaning technique to attempt to clear those aup.
Appreciation in advance for taking the time to provide input.
