I did a sensor test after I noticed white spots in a series of images I was processing in Lr. Researching the problem with the white spots, I discovered the sensor test, that is shooting a capture with the lens cap on. One capture is at lowest iso (200) and a long exposure 6-10 seconds, at f16. A second capture with lens cap on, iso 800, 1/1000th sec and f16.
While performing this test, I found that 2 red pixels (in different parts of the frame) were visible in the low iso image, while the higher iso image, the sensor appeared clean. This revealed exactly the opposite of what most people consider acceptable and that is red pixels (also known as hot pixels) appear at the higher iso sensitivity.
The white spots disappeared with pixel mapping which can be done by the user. (found in the menu).
Considering that this X-T2 is brand new, I am readying it to return to B&H.
Has anyone else found any hot pixels or any other imperfections associated with the X-T2 sensor?
I'd appreciate your input. Thanks!
