I've been asked by some friends as of late to do some short promo videos for them (all people I've done stills for in the past). They understand I am not a video guy and have limited ability in actual filming and editing.

That aside, I'm having a hot pixel problem with my 5d2, which is in near mint condition with average to below average clicks and very limited video time on. The first time the hot pixels happened I did some searching and found the method to fix it by putting the body cap on, choosing manually clean sensor and leave it for 30 seconds with the body cap side down on a table. This, from what I've read, resets the sensor. It worked!

But Saturday night while filming I had repeat problems. It sucks to stop in the middle of doing everything to do a sensor reset.

You can see different pixels in different locations in this 92 second video clip http://www.youtube.com​/watch?v=nzqgAzrtmXI (external link)

Anyone have advice, help or suggestions?

If I knew how, I'd help ya... My 5D has a nasty one as well. :confused:


I wonder if the video editors on The Titanic ever went, "Sorry, I can't right now. I'm busy synching the Titanic..."

you could do something silly like copy the video to another track, crop it so it only shows a pixel next to the dead pixel, then move it over one pixel to cover the dead pixel. then the pixel that used to be dead is now showing the pixel next to it.

sure it'll still be wrong, but a lot less noticeable because it's always the same color as the pixel next to it.
