Igot my canon eos R just 7 months ago. I just noticed in some photos some dead pixels. Then when lookging through the viewfinder if I don't remove the lens cover, I can see many dead pixels and also near to the corners I see many blue pixels that are contantly turning on and off. I took a photo without removen the lens cover to appreciate all the issues. The blue dots that I see in the viewfinder and screen don't appear in the photos. But in the photo I can see many dead and hot pixels. Is this issue cover by warranty?

Interesting. I know that for any LCD/OLED display or viewfinder, you may indeed have dead/stuck pixels. User manuals will outline this as normal. The higher resolution of these displays, the more you may see. But the manuals also state that this will not affect the actual captured photos or footage.


What I do see in your photo (tip to readers of this thread: ensure you view in at least 100%), is indeed numerous single pixel colored dots. I didn't count, but seems to be well over 20. Because this is on a captured photo, I would imagine the sensor is bad? So definitely seek out service. That really should be covered by warranty as that's the most important part of the unit.


What will be interesting is that if this is indeed found to be a bad sensor, then once replaced, it may solve the issue with the dead pixels also in the EVF/screen. But, as stated above, EVFs/screens can have their own dead pixels. But the ratio should be very low. Personally I only see them say with an average of 1 bad pixel per around 2 million pixels.


Looking at your EXIF - it's a 30 second exposure under 28C ambient temperature. The sensor is getting hot and it's possible to get some noise. If you hold it for another a minute or two - you'll see even more noise. Just google "long exposure noise" and you'll see a lot of examples.


Possibly. But you should send it in for evaluation. Canon will determine whether it is within spec or not. Tell them what you see, no one here can tell you if it is right or not. Only Canon can do that.


I have finished the colour grade on a short film and afterwards, have spotted some shots used with a certain camera throughout the production that have dead pixels. I have scanned through the dailies and can confirm they are present from the day they were shot - so this is nothing to do with any post production or data transfer.


My question is whether or not it would be worth trying to fix - or just leave it and hope the majority of viewers wont notice. As I want to avoid any possible degradation and compression of the overall image during the post pipeline.


I used to work for Channel 4/Film Four QC and failed quite few a high profile things for stuck pixels. Generally you miss them if its a few shots. But if they are persistent and on light backgrounds it would be a QC fail. (well it would have been in the good old days when I did it)


Its a pretty easy fix - there a quite a few dead pixel buster plugins that fix the problem quite simply. I always used to reject programmes for dead pixels because its such and easy fix and only represents lazyness on the online editors part. Lots of post houses came to hate me over the years...


I would also fix it because even if the audience don't notice it, I would notice it and then I'd worry that other people would notice it... Its a very simple fix - depending on your software.... google is your friend here, plenty of online tutorials


I noticed that on the left edge of my screen, I have these dead pixels that are about the shape of a half circle, with the circle being cut off by the edge of the screen. I have no idea how this could have happened, since the phone has not been dropped or had anything hit the screen. The one toward the top left appeared first and a month or two later, the second one appeared toward the middle of the left edge of the screen. It took me a while to notice since my wallpaper is dark and most of the apps I use are in dark mode. I have limited coverage that ends on 6/1/23 and I imagine that this will not be covered and I'll likely have to pay the estimated $279 to get the screen replaced, but I wanted to see if anyone else has run into this specific issue with the half circles and what their experience has been in getting it fixed/replaced. I appreciate whatever info you can provide.


I visited Apple, and they confirmed that the issue is a manufacturing defect, eligible for free repair if within warranty. It's crucial to ensure you're still under warranty, as it may be challenging to get a free fix otherwise. Surprisingly, I managed to get mine repaired at no cost despite being out of warranty. If you find yourself in a similar situation, contacting Apple support and specifically requesting to speak with a Level 2 manager can be helpful. Politely mention your visit to the Apple Store and explain that they advised you to call and speak with a manager.


Unfortunately, the force resetting didn't work when I tried it. It isn't the wallpaper, because I only switched to that one in my original post because it's easier for people to see what I'm talking about; my normal wallpaper is dark, which is why I likely didn't notice it for a while. I appreciate you trying to help, though!


I'm using Asus TUF Gaming F15 which is working really fine for me, but recently I noticed that at 144 Hz there is a black horizontal stripe (dead pixels) at the bottom of the screen. When I change the settings to 60 Hz it goes away and the screen works normal without any dead pixels. This is my first time using a 144 Hz screen laptop, so I can't say that it is dead pixels, or a setting problem, or a resolution problem.


What you show are essentially not dead pixels. Dead pixels are individual pixels, not the entire line. What you see is likely a problem in vertical contact field, namely in one or more of contacts which power affected horizontal lines.


Some of these contact failures - like yours - are dependent on working frequencies. At some frequencies, their impedance (electric resistance) is unexpectedly higher than at others. Then there is not enough voltage left for pixels themselves. This explains what you see.


This loosened connection can emerge during the manufacturing process or later by mechanical stress during use. For example, it is frequent in laptops carried in stuffed backpacks, where the stuff is forcing the display chassis to bend.


On laptops where LCD contact fields are placed close to the surface of the display, you can even feel the heat by touching the problematic area. This witnesses that there is more thermal stress going to that area, leading to more severe damage of the same place in the future. In some cases, gently pressing the damaged place may lead to pixel lines reappearing, even at 144 Hz, but only while the pressure is applied. In such a case, the problem with damaged contacts has mechanical nature - they are mechanically loose. But the heat can contribute to this by affecting the glue which holds the contacts attached.


To permanently fix this, contact a service center where they will fit an entirely new LCD panel assembly which also includes contact fields. Typically this can be covered within the warranty of the device.


I had an area of dead pixels on my Lenovo laptop, which appeared out of nowhere and grew over time. The area was completely black - couldn't see through it, and after recent travel with laptop - I noticed that area turned green, and I can see black and other darker colours through it. Could it have magically partially healed by airport scan? or any other causes?


If you have ever heard of the "Rubbing" a bad pixel out , it was all about moving the liquid around to try and get it working again. It does not work for pixels that are "dead" electronically but it may change things for pixels that are "dry".


That might be a stuck pixel rather than dead. Check play store for some apps that can help with the issue. And, if it turns out that it is a dead pixel then that should be covered by warranty, with some proviso. Contact Samsung support via Members app for further help


Hello,

I need help, I performed the dead pixels commands and I follows all the steps. Once the command to clean the pixels was executed the screen went black. I turned the camera as instructed and the camera viewfinder is black.

The menu screen and all the other commands are still visible. What should I do to fix this problem?


We have an issue with dead pixels from footage that is generated from our Phantom Flex 4k camera (.cinefile). These dead pixels ONLY appear when footage is imported into Premiere Pro. Has anyone had a similar problem and found a solution? Thanks.


I MAY have made some progress here. Or maybe not. We shot Flex4K yesterday and due to technical difficulties ended up exporting the clips off the cinemag through PCC and Sance. THE FOOTAGE EXPORTED OUT OF PCC DID HAVE THE WHITE DOTS in Premiere (and it did have the dots via the same export method on my last shoot). THE FOOTAGE EXPORTED OUT OF SANCE DID NOT. Please let me know if any of you can confirm these results.
