Tried video mode with cap on-- previously 2 spots, now none!
All cool now!
maybe the firmware just make the hot spots dark. :sweat:
Side-effect:
*After the firmware is upgraded, bright spots may be visible in the monitor while the camera is autofocusing with the shutter-release button pressed halfway in live view mode. However, these bright spots are not recorded with still images and movies and are not visible in the monitor while the camera is autofocusing during movie recording.
Weird... what is it about? Hmm...
dear seniors, a noob qn that seeks enlightenment.
assuming that it's like what Luv4Nature said, does it mean the firmware is more like a 'work around' or 'fix' rather than solving the root cause of problem (hot pixel)?
TIA.
too bad no fix on the low light AF hunt.
No firmware update can solve AF hunt in low light.
Your camera sensor is not as perfect as human eyes maa
updated mine.
so far.. no more hot pixel appearing on both Live view and 1080 movie up to iso6400, even on caps on test.
but take note.. somehow.. mine set is the same as other forum members one.. i was extremely disappointed after the first time i upgraded the firmware, because it turned out no different.. and one hot pixel becoming more obvious.
so.. i did the second upgrade ... phew... the issue is gone!
anyway.. i suspect tat was due to the last 2 steps that i didnt follow.
# Switch on the camera, and access the Firmware version item in the setup menu to confirm that the camera's firmware has been upgraded. Switch camera off, re-insert SD memory card.
# Format memory card in camera for use.
cheers.
