Stuck Pixels on the 5D3

[J.R.]

Hi,

I just noticed that I've got two pixels on my sensor that are stuck - one is red while the other appears white. Importing as DNG into Lightroom adjusts automatically for these stuck pixels and these are visible only before importing.

I'm unsure whether these should be a cause of alarm. Net-searches suggest that it happens with all digital cameras and there is nothing to worry about. The camera is under warranty but I'm not too sure I want to send the camera to Canon for 3-4 weeks.

Thanks in advance ...

Cheers ... J.R.

With a lens on the camera, cap in place, start a manual sensor clean and let it sit for a minute before powering off the camera. That should 'remap' the stuck pixels.

Thanks a lot Neuro ... I'll do this later in the evening today and revert.
