Thanks! I'm less concerned about ordering one now... being 3 hours from the closest dealer, I would have to dedicate a day driving to and from just to fix a stuck pixel before a shoot.

I don't need it just now, but does this work on the HM100, anyone know?

Maybe we can post this as a sticky?
Simon, it doesn't work on HM100- you'll have to send it in for service!

Lou Bruno · November 6th, 2009, 08:05 PM

Hang in there. I will get the menu sequence for the 100 if it is available....takes me awhile to figure this out...but I will try my best.

CHRIS-Can you make this thread a sticky?

When accessing the advanced menu the camera seems to automatically detect the dead pixel(s). I couldn't enter the menu line 'pixel compen det' but after leaving the menu the dead pixel was gone. Dead simple! Maybe when there is more than one dead pixel the procedure is different?

It is different, but when you switch on the focus assist you see the dead-pixels highlighted.
That will help you to detect them.

Lou, many thanks. But no hurry – I don't have any dead pixels at this time but thought it might be useful for people to know if it exists. regards simon.
