In the time its took me to start the thread and for me to do some reading ive found out that they are " Hot pixels" can vary in colour, but on the sony alpha series they are mostly white due to software processing. They vanish when i drop the exposure to 5seconds, and from what ive been reading thats quite good considering how common hot pixels are.
Panic over, i just need to learn how to use my camera proper now .
Are you on the latest firmware?
On a Pentax k20d I bought as my spare a few months back it suffered terribly until I ran the pixel mapping utility.
Imho they should tell all new owners to do that!
throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception)
Turn on 'long exposure noise reduction' in the menu - this is exactly what it's designed to get rid of. Alphas also have a system where they map the hot pixels on the sensor once a month, so shifting the date forwards by a year or too will force a re-map. Finally, those will disappear with the slightest hint of noise reduction in any program.
Yeah its the sony alpha 200, i wasnt aware camera firmware could be updated !? Never changed any settings really, just played around with manual mode. Long exposure noise reduction is on though i did check that.
