I noticed two dead pixies but it seems the masking procedure has been deleted. Anyone know the procedure for masking pixels?

Thanks Alan, I emailed you. Btw, is it possible to PM in this forum? I don't seem to have that feature. Maybe I'm on double secret probation here for asking too many dumb questions and lowering the general level of discussion.

Good luck.

well the current line is four years old.
so if you follow apple's pattern,
we should see new ones this summer

in theory

Our GY-HD251 has maybe 10 hrs recording and it's already got 2 dead pixels. And from operating only in studios and at rock concert, no heat, nothing.
We use it for film-quality work, some of it going to 35mm-filmout.
If dead pixels grow at this speed we'll soon have a Swiss cheese picture.
one can't go on masking forever - or before every shoot.

What should we do ? mask? have the vendor mask ? notify JVC Switzerland? send it in ?

Thanks

btw i already posted on this subject about a year ago but regarding a 110 with quite a few hours. this one is brand new.

If it was me, and as long as I had ample warranty remaining, I wouldn't worry about it, keep using the camera and stay vigilant for malfunctions. Be sure to look for issues on a decent monitor--don't trust the LCD. It's junk.

I have no idea as ive never used it. did you get those pixels masked? i just had to mask two stuck pixels last week after noticing them on a short we just recently completed- not the best time to discover them! Listen to Bruce- USE A MONITOR!
