Actually, how often is one gonna take a photo with ISO3200 and 10 seconds exposure and with NO NR at all?

alamaks....my warranty over dee

oh well... u can always get a free cleaning with that anyway....

Dont worry lor.

What are the settings u normally use for your photo?

Got ISO3200 often? and 10seconds exposure? no NR?

I usually shoot at 1600 MAX, but even at iso800, some are already visible. No harm getting it fixed.

mine got over 20 dots




hahahahah. just joking

At 800x600, you wont be able to see any hot pixels.

I took my larger sized picture with significant hot pixels and resized it to 800x600, and I can't find any hot pixels also.

see for yourself



Maybe you should upload a picture with higher resolution with at least 3MP.

And I also noticed, your shot above with a D200 has so much less noise!

not that my eyes can really see the hot/dead pixels
but things meant to be fixed are meant to be fixed

my warranty....

eh wait...mine is unfilled warranty

post up a pix, ill check for you, unless u scare there's lots and lots of them Nikon over here dun even bother with seeing the warranty paper...they just want proof of purchase...im gonna send mine camera in next week, play a little more first. They say they will be replacing my sensor.

serious? means the receipt more important than the waranty card???

grey color and green color .. is also a dead pixels? Omg... i have so many leh H!H!HH! HELP ! i already circled it out .. just need help to double check. Thank you

May I know how old is your camera?

yup, there's no need for the warranty card. Just a photocopy of the receipt, description of the problem, and send the cam in. Don't even in RA#. I called to check again today and this time they told me a week. I told them i found 20+ dots, each of them consist of 4-6 pixels together...that's over a hundred of them. The girl on the phone said "oh my god" Ah well, seems like D80's sensor is even more kay

bbtat, yes, really lots of them, more than twice the amount of what i have....almost the same level like those D100 liao....get it fixed. Tell nikon you take lots of long exposure shot, over a min, and you see lots of these pixels. You want them to map out everything see up to 2 sec, @ high iso.

Dead pixel can be fixed? And what's remap?

Actually there's no sensor that has 0 dead pixel. Camera manufacturer usually mapped the problem pixel out before sending it out, olympus camera has automatic maintenanance system that will map out dead pixels during certain time. Basically the camera will check for the dead pixels, then take the data around the surrounding pixels, interpolate the data, and clone the closest pixel to the dead pixel. This is done at the firmware level, the firmware level.

Another solution is to replace the sensor, but even replaced, there will still be dead pixels, and they will map it out. IIRC nikon can only map out 200+ pixels, if there's more than that, they will replace the sensor, then remap the new one.

wow, i didnt know about this....
but if my lcd got dead pixels also, then very hard to see?

If you know particular part of your lcd got dead pixel, look for other part of the screen lor.

enlarge the picture n move around with mouse lo...

Erm
2 months old. .. omg.. what happen.. u help me to checkeeD?

Well, I wouldn't want to scare you or anything.

Maybe can bring to Nikon for checkup and tell them about it.

Get it fixed asap lor.
