Canon powershot A560 stuck pixel

[Razor512]

There is a cluster of about 6 stuck pixels in the upper left hand side of all images, there completely white

i was wondering if there was a way to remap those stuck pixels with out sending it into canon

i have seen it done for many Nikon cameras but cant find anything for remapping the ccd of a canon powershot.

it is knows as cameras age they may develop some stuck or dead pixels but i only had this camera for about 2 months and it has a cluster of stuck pixels

I mainly use the camera for making macro shots for my flickr page

and it is annoying having the photoshop out those bad pixels

it would be great if there was a way to remap them my self

mainly trying to avoid the high shipping costs of sending the camera in

For just over a hundred bucks, I would just replace it, and wish for better luck on the next one.

How old's the camera? If it's bad, and still in warranty, Canon should be willing to fix/replace it for you.

it is about 2 months old.

still under warranty but i think theres a shipping fee involved in replacing it and i was hoping to avoid that

yep my fears were right $8 so send it into canon, damn you usps!!!

Could it possibly be a tiny piece of dust? I had dust on the CCD of my SD 800IS, but I had purchased the service plan from good ole Best Buy and it was free to send it in and have it cleaned and inspected, only took 2 weeks too! Without the service plan, Ritz Camera wanted $90 to ship it to Canon, ludicrous!!

Surely you jest! You don't really think eight bucks shipping is too much......do you? :confused:
