Hot Pixels? 602 no NR?

[Klipsch]

Was testing out my friend's 602. 3 sec exposures and there were hot pixels all over. Attached are 2 photos. Please advice. Thanks.

now you should be able to see the pics :P The img tag function wasnt enabled by default for new created sub forums, thats why it didnt work previously. I have enabled that and you shoulod be able to use the img tah now. Sorry for the inconvenience caused

I have not had this problem with hot pixels; Were u using the cam for quite a while before you took this shot?

Nope. It was cool as anything. Didnt take any shots beforehand. Wanted to test the Hot Pixels...

Think my friend got a faulty set? Just bought 2 days ago only can still change.

Hmm.... seems like a camera defect to me......

'coz even at abt 8s, I didn't get any hot pixels....

Alrite time to go down to AP again. Thanks alot

It's not a defect!!!

NR kicks in in manual mode (up to 15s). For shutter priority or aperture priority, there's no NR even at the max 3s exposure. That's why you could get less noise at 15s exposure (manual) compared to 3s for AP or SP.

Individual cameras differ though in terms of hot pixels so one may have a bit more than others.

Dunno whether this is documented in the manuals or not. I learnt from my own experience and DPReview's forums.

Nah i dont think so. The manual didnt mention a thing about NR.

[darkness]

Wow, I didn't even know that S602 has NR in first place!! Great info, thanks KC!

[shawntim]

what is NR?

You dun use digicam? NR is Noise Reduction lah

[revenant]

Not all DC have NR, hence not everyone know what's NR.
