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![]()
Anyone have advice, help or suggestions?
