jaapv Posted December 28, 2009 Share #2 Posted December 28, 2009 This camera may be due for pixel mapping at Leica. However, pixels like that have been known the disappear after some time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glider Posted December 28, 2009 Share #3 Posted December 28, 2009 I discovered the same problem in my almost-seven week old M9, after about five weeks of use. A question for JAAPV: please tell me more about these stuck(hot) pixels and how (and when) they might spontaneously disappear! Another option as opposed to returning the camera to Leica for remapping is to look into the Pixelfixer freeware (www.pixelfixer.org). While there is no M9 profile as of yet, the author has advised me to stay tuned for an update sometime around the first of the year that will include the M9. Wouldn't it be great if a future version of the M9 firmware included an automatic remapping function? -= Jon =- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted December 28, 2009 Share #4 Posted December 28, 2009 Yes it would - I had a hot pixel on an M8 once which simply disappeared a few weeks later without ever returning - don't ask me why... Anyway hot pixels are said to be cosmic radiation damage and Leica will either map them out for you or exchange the sensor. I would advise you to have your dealer return the camera for you or send it to Leica yourself. It seems CS has quite a fast turnaround nowadays. I tried Pixelfixer - it found thousands of hot pixels on a perfectly good M8 sensor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
