Three vertical white dots in VIXIA HF R400 video?

In two of three segments I shot in one session with an HF R400, there are three vertical white dots and a small white slash in the bottom third of the screen.  The two segments were shot in bright sunlight.  The third segment, which had no such dots, was shot out of direct sunlight, if that was a factor.

Hi Carl!
Thanks for posting.
What you are describing could be lens flare.  Lens flare is a light scattering effect usually caused by sunlight entering the lens at a high angle, but the source is not just limited to sunlight. 
Do you have a sample clip or frame capture we can see?

  • Weird white dots appearing in menu

    Hello everyone,
    I just noticed today that everytime I open the menu up top and rollover a button, white dots appear. Each time I rollover, the dots change position. For example, if I roll over a selection, there are a lot of dots, and sometimes there aren't a lot of dots. It appear to only show when I roll over a selection in the menus up top or in the system preferences menu. They are sometime black dots too. It does not appear anywhere else, so I don't think they are dead pixels. I have turned off the translucent effect too, btu that did not fix it.
    I added three photos for examples.
    Two images show two different times I rolled over the same selection and the dots changed, and one image is in the system preferences as another example.

    Well Buko that doesn't sound like an answer at all but as a workaround to a flaw in the program itself. Are you telling me that the only way to get a jpeg out of InDesign is to first export as a PDF? If that's the case, then it means Adobe has put out a product that doesn't work as it is supposed to.
    Buko, you did not attempt to answer my question, and in fact tried to make me feel stupid for not seeing the obvious answer of spending more time doing what InDesign already should do. No one likes a smart aleck.
    This is a serious question to the rest of the world. My question is NOT how to eventually get a jpeg. My question is this: Why can I not export a jpeg directly from InDesign? What is going on? Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a bug in our version of InDesign, or is this a common problem?

  • Removing the white dot under the help and print widget

    Hi there
    I have added the print and help widget to my course and I don't want to have a label name as I think the icons speak for themselves but when I do not enter a name a white dot appears under the icon and I can't figure out how to remove it.  Can someone please help?

    You have an other solution?

    The white squares are caused by the 2em of padding-left in ul.MenuBarHorizontal li. Remove the padding, and replace it with margin-left: 2em.

  • When rotated from landscape/portrait i get all these strange white dots   light bleeding

    Hi, I purchased an iPad 2 white wi-fi 16gb about 2 weeks ago now and i have noticed that the backlight is bleeding, i figured that was normal since there are TONNES of posts on here about it saying it does, but they said it may clear up. it hasn't. Also when i tilt my screen from portrait/landscape these tiny white dots jump accross my screen like a glitch in the software, should i get a refund?

    I've just discovered a similar issue, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with vertical or horizontal. At least it is still happening when I turn photos sideways.
    To be very clear here
    1) This is not a thumbnail issue, these are the original files taken from my camera minutes ago.
    2) This is not initial blurriness while the photo loads.
    3) I only notice it in full screen (edit) mode because it's actually quite subtle.
    4) Photos display correctly (sharp) when you zoom in a little, but return to blurry when you zoom back out.
    5) Appears to be random, with one nearly identical shot being crisp and the next appears blurry, but the affect seems to be specific to particular images (e.g. it doesn't come and go randomly regardless of which pictures you happen to be looking at. If a photo is blurry, it will stay that way even if you've closed iPhoto and reopened it).
    6) Photos are from a Nikon D5000
    Any suggestions? This is a ridiculous hassle as the OP mentioned, and is completely unacceptable in any photo editing/browsing software.

  • Little White Dot on left hand of screen

    Hey guys I have this little white dot on the left hand side of my screen. It seems to be dead center vertically and is just a 3 or 5 millimeters from the left edge. I think it's slightly larger than a single pixel (maybe two?). It's not a stuck pixel. It goes away if I put something darker behind it but if there's something white or very light behind it the spotter stands out as brighter than the rest.
    I noticed it a month or so ago. I tried stuck pixel fixers but that doesn't seem to do the trick. I'm way out of warranty so i can really only do home fixes. It's not a huge deal but it gets kind of annoying cause once I notice it keep nagging at the back of my mind until I leave my computer for a while and forget about it.
    Anyway I used it for over a year before noticing it so I think it appeared a while after I bought it but I don't know exactly when. I was thinking maybe the LCD backlight got jostled or something and now has a little bit of focus on the spot along with regularly lighting the rest of the screen. just a theory...
    So do you guys have any ideas and hopefully easy home fixes that don't risk my computer's functioning?

    I have this same issue. I have two small white smug looking spots that showed up about two month ago. It’s is really apparent when the Apple default blue screen at boot up.
    I went to the Genius Bar last night to have another issue looked at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1882651&tstart=0 and I inquired what those white dots/smudges were.
    “The Genius” said they are what they call bruises. Bruises caused by pressure applied in a concentrated area on the screen. I asked how that was possible when I carry my MBP in a case inside my bag. He then explained that anything could cause this and most likely was gripping the case of the computer when closed. He also went on to explain that this was not covered by the normal Mfg. warranty or the extended service plan.

  • NO White dot under open apps...

    This issue has been happening to me quite a few times lately and started about a week before the 10.6.3 update was released. Everything works fine, and then all of a sudden, I come to open an app, the app opens, but the dock icon doesn't display the app as open.
    Right now, I have Safari and Adium running, no white dot under their icons in the dock. I've tried re-adding the shortcuts to the dock, same issue. I've also tried relaunching Finder. FInder relaunches but when control-right clicking on the finder icon, it says that it's not responding. Sometimes Finder would actually crash and others i can continue to use my Mac until I'm fed up and reboot. After a reboot, all works well for a while, then.... It all happens again after a while.
    I've used Onyx and run the entire automations scripts (fix permission, delete cache,.....) I've even repaired the HDD volume with the mac disc yesterday... Woke up to see that my mac is running Adium and Safari without the dock showing those apps are active....... If right click on the Adium icon, it says "Open", as if the app wasn't already.
    I'm a pretty advanced user, I just can't figure this one out. Tried google, nothing. Can anyone help me

    Unfortunately, not in any of Mac OS X's settings as they exist today. Now there are several shareware Dock customizing utilities that will let you change all kinds of things about the Dock. Yet I hesitate to recommend them as they introduce the possibility of instability to your system and are often broken with new OS updates.

    Personally I would like to see a change. That tiny bluish/white glow is very subtle for weakening eyes.

  • When I turn on my iPod Touch 5th generation, half of the screen has vertical white lines and it is irresponsive to the touch... is there anyway this can be fixed because this is my third time in the last 4 months I have had problems with Apple.

    The screen looks completely normal besides the vertical white lines on the right hand side of the screen, as the "slide to unlock" is lighting up and the time and date are changing, but the screen is unresponsive. After several problems with Apple in the last few months (and two defective iPods including this one and one iPhone), I really don't want to go through the whole process of bringing it in or getting a new one entirely. It would greatly help if someone knows a solution, even if that would require completely resetting the iPod to factory settings, as I have had is synced to iTunes before. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help. Thanks.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes      
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Seems like a bad digitizer or connection or logic board.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless Printer: Still getting vertical white streak on copies

    HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless Printer: Still getting a vertical white streak down pictures. I have changed the yellow/black printhead. One helps note says I should try cleaning the scanner glass. Where is the scanner glass, and how do I get to it?
    Any other possible solutions for getting rid of the vertical line?  Thank you.

    HI,
    THis looks like a issue with the printer itself as it indeed is a vertical mis. A cartridge issue would cause a horizontal issue. What you can tru is cleaning the carriage rod, the metal bar that you see in the printer, and carefully clean the transparant strip. Do this very carefully as its pretty delicate and if it breaks the unit is ready for trash.

  • T43p with one vertical white bar 1/2" in width 3" from right side of screen

    I have a T43p with this vertical white bar that is new as of an hour ago. Not sure where it came from or how to fix it. I don't think anytihng is loose because I wiggled and pushed on every part on and around the monitor to see if it would change color or flicker at least a little. No change was noted. I also restarted and no change. External monitor shows no signs of this bar so it is not due to programming. I believe is is all due to hardware. Any ideas on an easy cost free fix? any help woud be awesome.

    Welcome to the forum!
    I don't believe that there's a cheap fix for an expensive machine such as T43p. Do you have any warranty left?
    Have you run PC-Doctor on all video aspects of the system?
    Good luck and let us know.
    Cheers,

  • What is the white dot on my ipod screen?  i can't get rid of it even when using apps?

    If I click on the dot it brings up a translucent screen with other options: Favourites (star) Home (home button) Device (picture of an iphone) and the circle (gestures).  No matter what I do I cannot get rid of this icon and it is driving me mental!

    Just did a further search and found that my question was alreaxdy answered by Jandt - thank you!

    The white dot is the button that brings up AssistiveTouch which allows you to use your iPod if you have difficulty touching the screen.
    To turn this function off, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch > OFF.

         Hi Frank.
         I have just had jb Atlanta's problem while adjusting the contrast on a photo. I was creating a slideshow at the time. After a lot of reading up I was about to give up when I tried restoring the file to its original settings as you suggested. Bingo!
         However, that would only work for me, if I restored the settings while in the slideshow. All data had 'disappeared' when I attempted to open the photo in its original project folder.
         Hope this is of help. Many thanks.

  • White dot (not dead pixel) on external LCD monitor.

    Hi all,
    I recently noticed a strange situation. I've owned a MacBook Pro 13" since October, and usually run it with an external Samsung T260 LCD monitor by MiniDP to DVI. I run the monitor at its full resolution of 1920x1200.
    When I arrange the monitors so that the Samsung is on top of my MBP, there is a white dot about the size of a pixel approximately 3 inches from the left and 1/2 inch from the bottom of the screen. I thought it was a dead pixel, but when I move the external monitor to be on the left of the MBP, the white dot moves to 3 inches from the top and 1/2 inch from the right.
    * The white dot does not appear when I arrange the monitors in any other configuration.
    * The white dot appears when using MiniDP to VGA adapter as well.
    * When I zoom using the modifer key+scroll method, the white dot grows bigger.
    I've tried using the JScreenFix applet, but as I said, it doesn't look like a dead pixel.
    Can anyone offer any other suggestions, that may involved poking around in the Video RAM space?
    Thanks,
    -Tony

    Hi all,
    Just returning to provide more information:
    While playing around with my screen layouts, I found that the white dot is actually part of the menu bar graphic. I arranged my monitors and captured the screen to show the placement of the dot.
    http://picasaweb.google.com/tonychung.ca/SonicTheme#5423207200689428946
    I hope Apple is able to fix this in the next SW update.
