Single red pixel in bottom right?	Can't Post

Noticed in my new pix (http://www.glenelliott.com/Wii_Night/index.html) I now have a single red pixel on the bottom right of every photo. Guess it's a dead pixel. Is there any warranty to cover this or is it similar to LCDs (where companies require SEVERAL of them to be dead to fix/replace?

If there is ONE dead pixel, it ruins the photo, so I doubt they would reject fixing it under warranty. But I have no idea. They should be able to fix it via software, by pixel mapping. I think my Olympus came with this software pre-loaded.

Seems I saw someone on a forum say they put their Canon into "cleaning mode", whatever that is on a Canon, and it mysteriously fixed it.

Good luck!

What white lines?

I know Safari displays Aperture web albums weird, but they look pretty good in IE or Firefox.

1/3 in from the right, directly next to some ugly 19 year old's shoulder

Update: I ran the "Sensor Cleaning" Mode (and didn't do anything) shut the camera off, turned it back on and fired a few more tests and it did seem to fix the problem. Odd but hey..I'm not going to ask questions...if it works- it works! Smile

Thanks Rusty!
