Hello All!

I have just faced a problem with my 7D - bad pixel (i believe its hot)
Its visible on the blank black screen on the photo (made with iso 1250) its a blue dot, really big i believe
Also its extremely visible+ annoying on the video! Since I am about to use this 7D for wedding video I started to worry.
I have heard there is a possibility to correct them somehow on the video :/?
Anyone heard about it or some good idea how to terminate these annoying spots?
thnx

do a manual sensor cleaning with the cap on for a minute. (search google for info) Use cc wire removal in after effects to get rid of the dot in your current footage.

Its pretty easy, cc wire removal, there are two crosshairs, move one to the left the other to the right. Increase the width to about 8 (I think you will have to test it). Works great. Its basically like cloning in photoshop, you can't notice it.
