t2i iso noise

Hi all,

I own a Rebel T2i which I purchased less then a month ago. Whenever I increase the ISO
in the video mode to 3200 or 6400. A blue dot appears in the upper right hand corner of
the image. It is not the display screen because the blue dot also appears in the raw video files when I upload them. I have done 2 low light test and each time the blue dot has appeared exactly in the same spot.

Is this a normal problem that I can fix on my own or should I take my camera to my local
cannon center for repairs?

Look forward to your feedback.

does it do this in photo as well as video?

It has happened in only one of my photos and that was with a ISO of 3200.

might be some funk on your sensor... cleaning time?

Thanks Chippy, I'll give that a try and see if it gets rid of the dot. If that doesn't work should I just take it in to the Cannon center?

Give it a shot, great metaphor to use with a cannon comment.

I was checking over footage and had a dot occur like this on my Ti1 at a higher ISO. I was recording for about 15 minutes, and in the video you could see it form in the bottom right over time. I upgraded to t2i so I haven't checked it again in a while. I wonder if its a hot pixel from use..

I don't know, now I have a new problem to this equation. I sent my t2i in for repairs. Best Buy replaced it with a brand new t2i today. (02/14/11) After shooting with it out of the box for less then 10 minutes I noticed another hot pixel. Could it have been that I already burnt a hole in the sensor? I had the 18-55 is lens open to about f4.0 shutter 1/30 ISO 6400. I didn't put the camera directly at the street light but immediately after putting it on these settings the Hot Pixel appeared again. I did another several test with the lens cap on with iso settings at 1600 and above. The hot pixel appeared each time. Let me remind you that this a brand new t2i I have had less then a day. Any ideas what would of cause it this time? Was it something that I did wrong?
