thanks!

by the way , software outside (hot pixel) is there?

Not much software other than dead pixel test that you need.
Mostly visual inspection, but you have to follow the instructions for focus test.

Again thanks to Hermeto, this time for the link.

I had been wondering about hot/dead pixels and last night down-loaded and installed the testing software that is referenced in the link.

However, I had no idea how to use it until I read the referenced link which suggested; shutter speed at one second, ISO=100.

It came up with zero hot/dead pixels - what a relief. Thank you.
