Is this dead Pixels?

Good evening,

 

I got my M9 used last year. It had the sensor replaced (not with the latest sensor though) before I bought it. I've only just noticed that at high ISO in a couple of my shots that there is a line across them. It is only noticable when I zoom in but I was just wandering if this was a common problem and if there is a solution. Attached is a 1:1 crop. 

 

ISO1600, F8

looks like it, not the end of the world leica will remap the sensor if its a new sensor may still be under warranty and they may even swap it for the latest sensor.

 

Thanks, it's barely noticeable to be honest so I guess I've got to decide if I want to send it off and wait X months to get it back. I'll maybe pop in Leica Store Manchester next week and speak to them.

If it is a sensor problem, the line will always be in the same position, so if you use Photoshop (it is all I know), you can make an action that heals the row (or column) to fix it immediately, even in batch with no intervention.


 


Me, I would leave it be and enjoy the camera. In fact, that is exactly how I am coping now.

Thanks Pico, 

 

I use Lightroom, not sure it is possible using just this but I might look into it. If it won't get any worse I might just leave it.  The sensor was replaced in May 2015, does anyone know the warranty Leica might offer on a replacement sensor?

Good news, Leica Store Manchester said that when I can't put up with it anymore they'll send it off to Germany for a replacement sensor as they are guaranteed forever. They could remap it but more likely they'll just replace it with the new sensor. Think I'll leave it a while partly as there is an 8-10 week wait (which is actually better than i thought it would be) and partly I'll wait till it's getting close to needing a service. Once again great service from the team.
