This is probably the start of the vertical line problem. In your photo editing program (Photoshop, Aperture, Capture One etc), take the image that you found the pixel on, lift the shadow details to the maximum. You'll most probably find a line of pixels that have failed. What is even worse, you'll find this line in all images at the exact same spot. According to other forum users who have had the same problem, it is not a failure on the sensor, it is a problem THAT CAN HAPPEN on one of the circuit boards. This problem DOES NOT AFFECT ALL camera's but does show up on some models in the course of time.

If you do a search on Vertical Line here in the forum, you will find quite a bit of discussion about it. My M8 is in Solms at the moment to have this issue sorted out. Just got an email from them this morning that they have received it.

Hope this helps you a bit.
