Hello elguajefranklin!
Welcome to the forum.
I would like to determine if this is going to need to be serviced or if what you are seeing is normal by asking a few questions.
1. How long after you start recording does the dead pixel appear?
2. How long are you waiting between recordings?
3. What ISO speed is set?
If this is a time sensitive-matter, additional support options are available at Contact Us.
I never shoot video, so I admit that I'm out of my depth. But maybe someone here who does could enlighten me. I have a hard time envisioning what combination of answers to those questions could make a dead pixel normal.

N82 "dead pixel" during camera mode only. Please h...

Hi,
when i activate my camera, a "dead pixel" is visible on the top area.
I have done the following checks,
1) Its not a LCD dead pixel because it happens only during cam mode.
2) Its not dust because the pictures taken do not have this.
Hence can someone please advise what is wrong? It bugs me.

I have it too, and it is a dead pixel on the camera CCD chip. You can identify it by following: It's only visible in photo mode, not video. When you zoom in photo mode, it moves on the screen, i.e. stays at the same place in the picture. The reason why it is visible on the screen is probably the interpolation, which makes it appear bigger than it truly is. Also, it's invisible on the resulting photos, as it gets lost in the noise. I have experimented a bit and have managed to only get one photo under very specific circumstances where I could see it on the photo when zooming closely in.

Camileo S10 - White Dead Pixel in HD modes

I purchased an S10 yesterday and have noticed a massive problem. When I shoot in any HD mode there is a dead (white) pixel that floats over the footage mid screen.
I would like clarification on this issue as quickly as possible otherwise it's back to the shop for a other camera?
Many Thanks...

Hi
Do you have this white pixel only on the monitor or on the recorded videos?
The LCD displays could have 1 or 2 dead pixels. Thats normal.
But if you have this dead pixel on the recorded videos you should contact the nearest authorized service provider. It seems that there is something wrong with the picture sensor

Canon EOS Rebel T3i 600D Video Problem

hello there!
I've been using my DSLR for about a month ago, and I love that it shoots full HD 1080p in 24 frames per second which commonly used for film-making. My Question is, when I browse videos on my computer (.mov files), it's resolution is always 1920x1088. So, it's not exactly in 1080 in height, is this fine? or others do have situation like this? And lastly, if I upload a video on Youtube, does the quality of the video will be remained? Thanks

Hello francoambatali,
The video recorded by the EOS Rebel T3i is 1920 x 1080, so I am unsure where you see it listed as being different than that. From what you describe, your saying it has an extra 8 pixels on the vertical side, which makes it over HD if nothing else. But again, we do not think what you are seeing is accurate, instead the program is probably reading the specifications incorrectly. It will not harm the integrity of the video though.
If you upload a video to Youtube, the quality undoubtedly will be compressed as a result of being uploaded. Youtube's compression methods are not determined by Canon, so we can't say for certain how much of a quality loss there will be, but it will undoubtedly be lower quality than the original source file.
If you want to get in contact with technical support or if this is an urgent inquiry, please feel to Contact Us.

Canon Rebel T3i Shoots Images Instead of Video on Video Mode. Help!!

Hello Canon community, I'm fairly new to DSLR cameras and a I recently purchased a T3i for video purposes. Today when I tried to shoot a video on video mode it just kept taking pictures every time I would press the shutter button. I'm fairly new to the menu settings and I don't know what to change in order to make it shoot video. It is on the video mode. Do you know why this is happening? And if so what can I change to make it shoot videos? Any answers will be apreciated!

This should help. http://photography.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-shoot-video-on-your-canon-rebel--photo-12747

EOS Rebel XSi goes dead

I have a Canon EOS Rebel XSi. Less than a year ago, I replaced the batteries with new ones (I keep 2 - one as a spare). I am experiencing problems where the camera goes dead after 8 or 10 photos, even though the battery shows a full charge. I swapped to my backup battery, and it took a minute or two to get the camera to turn back on, and when it did, I again only got about 8 or 10 photos and it went completely dead. Everything seems to work fine up until the point that it dies. FYI, the camera is about 4 1/2 years old and has taken probably 10,000 or more photos. Could this be a battery problem, or is it likely something more serious?

Hi captjim!
Thanks for posting!
If using alternate batteries still does not power the camera long enough for more than 8-10 photos, the camera will need to be repaired.
To start the repair process, you'll need to complete a Repair Request on our website.
Since the camera is more than a year old, you may participate in the Canon Loyalty Program instead. The Canon Loyalty Program option allows you to replace your current camera for a discounted fee, plus shipping. The original non-functioning camera would then be returned to Canon USA for recycling using a prepaid shipping label that would be provided.

Problems with stuck/dead pixels, battery life, ICS, and other problems

Stuck/Dead Pixels:
I bought my Droid Razr at around the 21st of December last year. On or around Christmas, I found a bright red pixel on the very bottom of my screen. Unlucky for me, I was leaving for Florida on Christmas Night. I got back on December 31st. Sometime in the first week of this year, I visited my verizon store and told the customer service lady that I had a dead pixel on my screen and had just bought it. But, she told me that she needed the manager to fix this and there was no manager there. For the next week I was busy with school and sports etc and was not able to go back to the store. It was now past my 14 day return period. So I decided, its only one pixel, most people won't notice it anyway. So here I am 5 months later, just starting to discover more pixels dying on my screen. I now have the one bright red one, two light blue ones, and one dark red. I have no idea what the return policy is on defective phones, and the verizon site is designed so that you can't find anything. And an FYI, I have tried stuck pixel removers and other apps, which haven't been successful.
Battery Life:
I have also been finding more problems with my phone. The battery life is terrible when 4G and even 3G are on. I actually see no difference in battery consumption between 3G/4G. My battery dies about 4-5X faster when data is turned on, compared to using no data. I know it isn't because of the apps I installed since when I use WiFi, the battery is alright. I also make sure that my RAM isn't above 400MB, so that the processor doesn't use a lot of battery. I feel like I completely wasted my money buying the Razr. Mainly because of the fact that the Razr Maxx was announced two weeks later, which has about 80% more battery. Not only this, but I've seen the Razr selling for only ONE PENNY on amazon over the past month and it still is. I payed $300 on my Razr.
Ice Cream Sandwich:
After these major problems comes another one, that I bet all Razr and Razr Maxx customers are still thinking about. When will I get Ice Cream Sandwich? It is very disappointing when you are told that you will be getting an upgrade in early 2012, and are still wondering where your upgrade is 5 full months in. From what I understand, we won't see an upgrade until the end of June, since Motorola has posted on their website that "rollouts" would begin in the second quarter. Even if they release it by the end of June, when will it get to your phone? Maybe another week or two for some people. This is another thing that I feel I wasted my money on. My brother told me to get the Nexus because of ICS, but I trusted Motorola that they would upgrade my phone in a timely manner. WRONG.
Phone Freezing:
One more problem that I've had is that the phone will freeze. Usually you only need to turn the screen off and on, but once in a while, you have to completely reboot your phone. When I was coming back from Florida, right as I was about to get home, my phone completely froze. I was about to go return it, but after about 15-20 minutes, it became unfrozen.
Motion Sensor not functioning:
Another problem, an annoying one, is that sometimes the motion sensor that controls portrait and landscape mode will just stop working. Some of the games I play are completely dependent on the motion sensor. It is very embarrassing when you are trying to show off to an iPhone friend and major components of your phone aren't working. They always tell me "why didn't you get an iPhone?". And I really just wanted to have a phone that didn't look like everyone else's, but I guess that comes at a cost. When the motion sensor stops working, I have to shut down my phone and restart, which takes a couple minutes.
Problems with camera:
My last problem would be with the camera. Sometimes if you bring the camera close to something, like a barcode, it will keep trying to focus, but never will. Another problem is photo quality in low light situations. It seems like the camera can't focus because it goes from being very dark into being bright because of the flash. I doubt this can be fixed because it's hardware, but a potential fix could be having the option to keep the LED light on during picture mode, that way the camera will be able to focus correctly.
In Conclusion:
I really just want someone to tell me how to return my phone for a new one, due to the dead pixels. I also wish I could be upgraded to the Razr Maxx because of the poor battery life on the Razr, but from what other people are saying, that probably won't happen. And finally, if anyone has more info about Ice Cream Sandwich, that would be awesome.

Well since it's a Manufacturing Error it should Fall under your Warranty if you got one with your Razr. You know you can Call C.S. an they can Assist you with the Matter on it.. Just remember to have another phone so they can Trouble shoot the One that is Experiencing the Issue an when you talk to them go over thing. An they should send you C.G.A.N unless they request you to send it in before you get anther one. If you feel Better going to the Store try that. And Good Luck..

New mac book - dead pixels allready

so - i bought the black macbook 3 weeks ago - very pleased with its power - and built - and it runs really fast - a few days ago i discovered i have 2 dead pixel - one on the top of the screen the second one is at the middle bottom .... really noticeable - so i called apple service in israel - and got a pretty annoying answer , saying that the Apple policy regarding pixel problems on new bought laptops is that until 9 dead pixel it is considered to be legitimate and acceptable.... so i am stuck with a new computer with a big defect and i have nothing to do .... few days ago i had to buy a new screen for my studio's G5 after wearing off my old apple studio monitor - i got a brand new 22" samsung lcd monitor and the sales man caught my ears when he told me that dead pixels will always occur on the first days or weeks of a new screen and it is always manufacturing defect - and should i have any pixel problem the new screen i bought would be replaced at once ....how come a 400$ screen has better warranty then a 1500$ macbook ????
what am i spouse to do with a brand ew mackbook with those 2 dead pixel ....it is al i see when i am working ....

Wait a bit. When you close the lid, the mac's sleeping light will stay lit for about a minute. During that time the Mac us writing it's memory to discuss for hibernating if it is left to sleep so long that the battery dies. After about a minute, the light should flash slowly off and on indicating it is now in sleep mode.
If you open the lid when the light is on solid (ie just close the lid and re-open) it takes about 30 seconds or so before you will be able to use the computer and sometimes you have to press the power button. But if after a minute of sleep 'prep' time you reopen the lid, it should come on right away.

How can I best prevent from automatically refocusing during movie mode recording?

I believe my camera is automatically refocusing using the AF, and it's causing intermittent blurring within the playback.
The lens that I am using with the Canon EOS 70D is the EF-S 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM
When I playback the recording, I can physically see the actual camera adjusting focus automatically, and it causes a major distraction since spur of the moment blurring is involved and in each case, it's about 1 second long. I'm unsure what to do. It seems like it occurs during low-light conditions more (especially if the low-light is in the background).
Should I try increasing the IOS? I understand it goes up to 6400 for movie mode.
I shoot using a Manfrotto 504HD,546BK Video Tripod Kit with 504HD Head and 546 Tripod - Black. Some of the subjects are moving (camera is panning either while I am reporting or not moving as a stand-up reporter from a fixed location). I shoot both inside and outside.
I've tried using a Manual Focus before but I suffer the consequences when shooting outside as I don't get the best focus when trying to manually adjust the focus. Perhaps I should switch between MF, then AF and back to MF again to have the best possible picture, as switching it back to MF again would carry over exactly from the AF I would imagine without any needed adjustments if I'm already ready to shoot the target I setup for. I work in both high, medium and low light and the problem persists.
Please...any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I should preface with stating that I don't shoot video, and as such my knowledge of the details on dSLRs when in video mode is limited. I'm making a lot of assumptions based off my use of them as still cameras.
When shooting stills, and not in live view mode, cameras have several autofocus points, some of which are more precise and have better low light capabilities than others. The center point is usually the best and many cameras have a center point that benefits from using a lens of 2.8 or faster. These points can lock focus in less light than a point rated at say 5.6. So your camera wouldn't be able to take full advantage of the 2.8 center point with the STM lens. That said, if the camera simply can't decide which subject to use as a focus point and is flipping back and forth then having a faster center point doesn't make a difference. Nor does it if you're using the outer points. Of course, I think this whole conversation is moot since I believe the camera is essentially in live view mode when shooting video which means it's using a completely different AF system (contrast detection). I just thought I'd mention it as a point of conversation. You can always try the 24-70 and see how it performs, but to your point, the STM lenses are designed for video.
Adjusting the ISO won't affect AF performance. So continue using the lowest ISO that you can get away with.
If I was in a situation where the camera was bouncing around AF and I didn't have external lighting, I would probably try to get the camera to set focus on my subject and then switch to manual. Short of that, I don't think there's much you can do.

IMac screen gains dead pixels from Mac Store visit???

My 3.4gHz i7 2011 27" iMac died, so I brought it into "The Mac Store" here in Portland (an authorized Apple reseller and repair facility). According to the work order, they changed out the logic board and the video card under warranty. When I picked it up last week, I noticed there was now a spot of 4-8 stuck dark pixels (all next to eachother in one big splotch) on the LCD that wasn't there when I dropped it off. I opened it up to put my hard drive back in and I saw that the SMT connector on the top of the video card (ambient light sensor?) was damaged, the plastic was broken and the plug was hanging on by gravity, not plastic tabs. So it still works, but the cable could pop off on it's own.
My assessment is careless work. The LCD was either swapped for a different unit, or damaged by the repair techs. Is it possible that a LCD can be damaged in a way that it receives a spot of dead pixels? AFAIK thats a sign of bad transistors and more of a manufacturing defect, which leads me to suspect the LCD was swapped out. The pixels are next to eachother both vertically and horizontally, so I'd doubt it's a video card issue.
The way the video card is damaged shows me they were careless during installation of the new card, and either didn't notice it (doubtful) or figured I'd never notice so they left it. Just speculation on my part, but as someone who does IT consulting for a living myself, it seems really sloppy either way.
I emailed the customer service address twice (in response to my work ticket) and the local store manager once, but have not received a reply or acknowledgement. I had to reschedule a second appointment and go in on my own. When I did the, the guy who received my iMac at the service desk said while it is not his call, he doubts they will fix it as "Apple has a policy regarding a certain number of allowable dead pixels", which completely neglects the fact that my LCD was perfect when I brought in the machine for unrelated service. He also said that the fact that I noticed the bad video card connector shows I was opening up the computer to reach non user servicable parts and therefore they probably wouldn't cover that. Which is ridiculous to me for a couple reasons, first, the Apple Warranty terms of service say nothing about voiding warranty for changing out the hard drive, second, it's illegal to void a warranty if I didn't damage the unit while servicing a user servicable part, and third, that gives them a self defining ability to damage anything inside my computer and then if I notice it they use the fact that I noticed it as a way to get out of fixing it. Kind of a catch-22 if you ask me.
So I'll be posting my follow ups to what happens here, but in the meantime, my questions -
- Can a LCD gain bad pixels from careless handling? Can a splotch of bad pixels be related to a bad video card?
- Has anyone had service like this from Mac Store or Apple before? I paid a lot of cash for this system and this is pretty frustrating.
regards,
Rob

Follow up post - I brought the system back, they were really nice, the escalated it, I got it back in 2 days, they must have had to overnight some stuff for that, and probably ate the costs themselves. The replacement LCD is perfect, the backlight board was swapped, everything is good, and they were nice to deal with the whole time.
I should have given them a chance before posting here. They went out of their way to treat me well, and that is appreciated. Please ignore the frustrated tone from my first post, it was just grumpiness on my part. Crap happens, customer service is how that crap is dealt with, and they did a very good job.

T3i Locking Exposure in video mode?

When some one moves an arm on camera I can see the exposure changing on the lcd monitor. Using older lenses I can see exposure changing/flickering as I zoom in or out.
How do you lock exposure in video mode? Even my several year old HV20 had a not-in-the-manual way of locking exposure.
Any video people here? I know how you lock exposure for still photography. I'd think the answer to this would be out there and not something that even stumped my local camera store.

Shutter speeds in video mode

I just read the T3i cannot autofocus in video mode, true?
On T5i can the shutter speed be set when taking video? Sometimes I need fast shutter so fast moving objects are not blurred.

Hi erokc!
Thank you for posting.
The EOS Rebel T3i can autofocus, but it works the same as when you are shooting still images. You need to activate autofocus every time you want the camera to focus the lens and before you start recording. Continuous autofocus is not possible.
When shooting movies in manual on the EOS Rebel T5i, the shutter speed, aperture and ISO can be set manually.

Dead pixel of Camera!

I have problem in camera mode as well as in video mode when zooming at the last stage even lil more theres a small dot in middle of the camera. when i take pics it doesn't show that dead pixel but in videos it do show. I tried to clean my cam's lens feeling that this should be a problem but its not the lens problem.
Is this a common problem? Can NSC or NSU cure this problem?
Please reply for my posts also! Thanks in advance.

Zombie Short Film Shot on Eos Rebel T2i

Hello everyone. We have decided to shoot a pre-trailer to a zombie short film we are in production for. This was shot on the Eos Rebel T2i with its standard lens, and a 50mm lens. I am proud to say I own one of these amazing cameras.
We were inspired to create our own short film inspired by the Walking Dead. In this new generation, a young leader by the name of Clarissa is left to lead the group of teenagers her age as well as others that fall into their lives. The group encounter enemies that are not just the dead. The Apocalypse has revolved around everyone, no matter of the age. The group faces new threats, the wisdom of the leader is question and a new unimaginable circumstance falls into play. We introduce our creation of the Hybrid, who is half human and half Carrier, otherwise known as a zombie. Could he be more than just a Hybrid? Or could there be more to the endurance of his life and why he lives being both? Stay tuned and find out!
Although the short film may still be in production, we have created a pre-trailer to give you the style of the film

Does Apple's warranty cover dead pixels on the iPhone 4S?

I received my iPhone 4S in the mail today and a few hours after I had been using it I noticed a tiny dot on the screen. At first I ignored it, thinking it would go away, but it hasn't. I searched what the problem was and found out it is a dead pixel. Like I said it's very small but it really bothers me every time I watch a video or take a picture. If I take it to my local apple store, will the warranty cover this?

The warranty should cover it if it is a defect in manufacture. In any case, you are covered by the 30 day trial return period.
