Today I noticed a dead pixel while editing a corporate film for a client. I asked on twitter if there is any solution to fix this dead or hot pixel. @GEPD on Twitter sent me a link to a short clip on YouTube, which is a great tutorial for people like me. Today I was the lucky guy and it worked out perfectly. You need some luck, it’s like a lottery, sometimes it works, sometimes not…
If you have any problems with your sensor (dead pixels, hot pixels), follow these instructions, it may help you! Good luck and a huge thank you to @GEPD on Twitter!
Unfortunately this method has never worked out for me … lucky you!
Thanks for the video Sebastian. By any chance do you know how to fix footage with that has the dead pixel on it? Thanks again.
There are some mapping plugins available for FCP7! I found a free one a few months ago, perhaps I remember the name of the plugin tomorrow
It shouldn’t work but it does. I had the exact same problem today with my 7D, followed the instructions… hey, presto, it worked. At first I tried without taking the lens off. I guess with the lens off it triggers a remapping.
Works like a CHARM!… thank you for savin us the trouble
Unfortunately ‘manual cleaning’ is not available for 550D. Is there any way around it?
thanks!
It worked for me on 600D (T3i), but in order to switch to manual cleaning you have to be in M P tv Av mode. I think the same is true for t2i (550D). Make sure you remove the lenses and put the body cap on. Use but not abuse. Excellent trick, Thankx.
My thanks to Sebastian and MMunteanu, guys you saved my day. It worked on my T3i!
YES! It worked for me and my 7D. THANKS!
Oh my god! I worked with my brand new Canon 600D. THANKS A LOT! i love you…
Just got a refurbished canon eos 550d(t2i)today and had 3 off these evil things on it, white and red ones…But…found this and it worked 100%..
A BIG THANKS..
…
Many thanks, worked for me on a new 60d.
It didn’t work at first with my 7D, but when I switched from manual mode to AV mode and let it sit for about 30secs it worked. Thank the maker.
Hey thanks for this, it worked for me on my 600D. I had a bright green pixel on all my shots followed this method and it’s now gone. I just hope that it doesn’t come back and if it does that this will fix it again. Thanks once again.
Thanks a lot, it was perfect for me.
