It should not make a difference as there is no one-to-one correlation between "sensels" (pixels in the sensor) and pixels in the picture because the de-mosaicing process done in the camera, where it averages the colour of each sensel in a two-by-two square, will simply ignore the dead pixel and provide the average from the other 3 sensels so the result should not be visible.

 

Thank you for your informative reply! Old leica user and new to this forum where I learned a lot about my gears these days. Thanks!

I don't have this issue, just more out of curiosity.. does this mapping last beyond firmware updates, or is there a special file that needs to be re-applied after each successful firmware update to re-apply the mapping?

Once they are mapped out it is permanent.
