Re: Hot pixels

[Robert Gonzalez]

I'll give it a shot.  I just capped the exposure of about 30 seconds at 
1600 iso.  There was low level noise, and a couple of places where it 
reached a level that would have been almost a "warm" pixel, but not 
quite.  So I was really pleased.  No real standouts.

Thanks,

rg

a test myself however, and was unable to find any "hot" or stuck pixels 
on the sensor in the *istD sample I bought.


Try this little utility using capped exposures of 15 and 60 seconds:
