Hi guys, my JVC HD101E (Pal) now has 3 dead pixels.!!!! not caused by gain or anything, it's really dead. the bright dots even appear when I close the aperture. What should I do, it's quite noticeable, especially when shooting in dark area. Can I sent it back to JVC to have it fixed? If yes, where should I sent, by the way, I am in New Zealand. How much would that cost? Please advice.

Many thanks!!!

Hi Aaron.

Here is a link on how to fix them in your camera:

And, if you are on the Mac platform (Final Cut Pro), here is a link to a good plug-in which can correct the dead pixels in footage which you have already shot:

Hi David, Thanks a lot. It worked!! you just save my ass.~!!!

so nice that feature is.

I've had to use it about 5 times over the life of the camera.

I wish all cams had that feature.
