Hot Pixles

How common are hot pixles? I noticed I have 2 of them. Hard to find but now I know they are there.

I have a 5D3 btw.

Think about it: Out of 22,300,000 pixels, only two hot ones? Not too shabby.

ok......i guess

Not a big deal, easy to clone out and if you have Lightroom it will fix it for you automatically.

Depending on the length of the exposure(usually over 2 minutes), i can have dozens(60D).
I tend to use long-exposure noise reduction on my long-exposure shots, as they can be numerous for cloning.

They're very common. Not a big deal either. You can either set your camera to manual clean and it will reset the sensor and they go away, or you can clone stamp them out. Easy as pie.

And when you consider that there are only 2 out of 22 million pixels on the sensor, then in perspective it's hardly any pixels at all. Only 1 pixel out of 10 million is hot. You got a pretty good production copy.

When you say "hot pixels", are you referring to seeing a bright 1-pixel "spot" when you enlarge the pic to at least 100% (an actual pixel), or are you referring to a bright "blotch" that is made up of more than one pixel?

Give this a try. Many people including myself have had success with this. No official word from Canon on this or why it works but a lot of speculation that the system maps the bad pixels and interpolates the data for those pixels from adjoining pixels. Then you don't have to screw with fixing it in every image.

Just do a manual clean and let it map them out. Problem solved.

Appears to be a white one then I found a blue one. How does lightroom repair them automatically?
