Hello everyone,
I recently purchased the Sony Alpha 300 D-SLR. I have been pleased thus far, but have noticed something when I decided to start playing around with long exposures. It seems that I may have a 'dead pixel' or something of the nature. So I did some experiments and here is what I came up with.
With lens cap on: 30 second exposure with a low f/stop and 'Long EXP NR' turned on - results in a completely black image - as it should
With lens cap on: 30 second exposure with low f/stop and 'Long EXP NR' turned off - results in a completely black image, except one white pixel in the upper right corner! One stinking pixel, but I can see it.
This pixel appears only on exposures longer then 10 seconds, with Long EXP NR turned off and when the camera saves to JPEG. If I save to RAW, and repeat the above experiement, the white pixel does not show.
Has anyone ever seen this before?
Best,
Brandon
