I did a kid shoot yesterday and discovered in all of my shots there is a white spec. zero in and - yup, bad pixel. Solid white. Could this be temporary? Or does this mean that the camera is on its way out? ... or just requiring one more step in post for every picture?
Bad Pixel

Solid white? dead pixels are usually black unless the sensor is shooting a negative and automatically converting it. What program did you view the images in? How old is your camera... Maybe it's just karma for shooting kids "smirk"

I had several of those (~6) on my D100. If you shoot raw, I think most raw processors these days are smart enough to automatically remove them. I know Lightroom does and I think capture NX does.

I shot in high jpg, and I use the LR3 beta for post. I'll try raw. ...eya solid white.
I've had the camera maybe two years with roughly 25K actuations.Posted 3 years ago # -
If I zoom in @ 11:1 I can see that it is a plus sign with the center being brighter than the rest of the plus. Taking up what looks like 5 pixels.

Shooting raw should fix it, Jeff. The bad pixel filter probably doesn't catch it when it's already been included in the interpolation while changing to a jpg in your camera (this makes the neighboring pixels become brighter in blue, green, or red depending on what flavor pixel is bad, so LR believes the value since neighboring pixels are high, too).

Someday Jonnyapple, I'm going to talk like that too... and that's what scares me. :)
Thanks for the info!
