View Full Version : Blue Spot?

So the other day I was checking to see how much and where the dust was on my sensor to if it needed a clean. In the process I noticed a funny blue spot (a couple actually) but one that stood out the most. It appears in the same spot on every shot. about 1/4 in from the right side and right in the middle top to bottom.
Is this something that I should worry about, something to get checked out or fixed before my warranty is up? or is it some thing "normal" that I should just forget about it and continue taking pictures because its not really a "problem".
Thanks in advance for any input or advice.
Phil

Hot pixel. Quite common, espically with long exposures.

Here is a long exposure full of 'em.

yeah, I had a similar problem a while back with my 300d. I actually found it the other day when I was perusing through my threads. from a whiiiile back.

Thanks for the info guys, Thats what I had figured and wasn't planning on doing anything for it but photoshopping it out if it shows up or bugs me. I don't really notice them when shooting regular photos as they blend in or disappear, but was just asking out of curiosity.
Saw an article on them too its Here (http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/hot-pixels/index.htm)if any one else was wondering about them.
