    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.

    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 if any one else was wondering about them.
