Hi Guys, Just picked up my M240 2 days ago, just realize it got plenty of red dots and blue dots on the picture when it hits ISO 640 and black background. 

 

Is it dead pixels on sensor?

 

tried with several lens, same thing happened with same position

If colored they may be hot pixels and not dead. Dead are black and produce a line. There have been many reports here of lines at 640 but not other ISO's. Do a search of the forum. I personally avoid 640.

Is it a sensor problem? Can Leica repair this problem by changing the sensor?

Basically yes, but let Leica CS be the judge of that.

Generally they are mapped out with software. Ask Leica what to do. You may need to send them a sample picture.

Tomorrow Im going down to the service centre. They should change this for me as I just bought this from them.
