Hot pixel evaluation920 viewsCutout of faulty region from 256 consecutive images downloaded from my digicam. If you click the image, it's supposed to show the image unscaled (1024x1024). Just placed here in case my warehouse/service centre gives me trouble again. Had to make a longer fault description (located at hotpixel) to make sure they check it for this error...

After second repair837 viewsSurprise, now there are two hot pixels.
The good thing is that it proves that they really changed the CCD - the bad thing is that it's even worser now then before.
It's really strange how they affect the surrounding pixels, just as if there is a bug in the cameras internal processing.

Hot pixels after third try to get it repaired793 viewsThis image contains cutouts of the red and blue hot pixel located here. These hot pixels are always visible in manual mode (at least when shutter speed higher then 1/15 and below 1/250, didn't try much higher). The hot pixels are also slightly visible in most automatic modes, especially when the cam uses an ISO higher then 100.

Failed repair of one hot pixel792 viewsInstead of one hot pixel (what I got to begin with), they sent the camera back with a replacement CCD that had two hot pixels!
