Hot Pixels


Recommended Posts

Has anyone here dealt with hot / stuck pixels on a GFX camera? Just purchased the camera from someone reputable on Fred Miranda and immediately noticed hot pixels all over the image. I did the pixel remapping and it seems to have helped. Should I still be worried about anything? Is this normal?

I've had this issue as well with my GFX 100s, seems like when the sensor gets hot it starts to collect what are called 'hot pixels' similar to stuck pixels. i've reached out to fuji and they say just run a pixel remap and that its totally normal. my issue is, i work on set with this camera, so its on and working for up to 10 hours a day for many days. remapping it every day isn't really ideal. since, from what i read. a remap is just filling in those hot or stuck pixels. seems less than i deal to me. so now what. i have a 96 mp camera?

@olfa w. i can understand how noise would be thought of here. but its too random to be noise, and its always there, shot to shot, once you see those hot or stuck pixels they're there. until a remap.

I get em on my gfx100s nearly every shoot. It is very noticeable when shooting on black. Another disappointment with this camera. It is very sensitive and when I run it tethered to an 13”m1 Mack book pro, I constantly have in camera software crashes using capture one.

Well as I mentioned above I was about to order a 100s.  I did.  It's FANTASTIC, but it does experience some hot pixels.  Not too many, but that was only after 5-6 months of (everyday) use.  I was away in the Yukon and Alaska for 53 days and with over 9,000 raw files I did notice some dead/hot pixels.  

Not sure what I'm going to do other than re-map.

GFX 100S - Tomatoes / tomahtoes, I call 'em "dead pixels." In any case, they're all over the frame. I marked a couple dozen of them on this image, only because I ran out of patience to continue. They're in shadows, highlights and everything in-between. However, they're one pixel in size, and not visible on 24" prints, even when only about half the frame is printed. BUT, I don't like it, and still don't have even one dead pixel on my 12-yr-old Phase One IQ-160 back.

What is "pixel remapping," and how do you do it?

    • HI Rufo, I have changed procedures.  I now use the colors space transform (CST) as my first node.  The CST is set up as follows: - Apply the CST effect to the first node. - Color Space is Rec 2020 - Input gamma is FLog - Output color space is Rec 709 - Output gamma is Gamma 2.4 All other nodes to grade the clip proceed the node that contains the color space transform. Hope this helps. Don

    • Interesting, and a bit subtle. I also think it'd be better to activate on a half press. But there seems to be good reasoning behind a number of other choices, so I wonder if there's a good reason behind this one and we're just not seeing it. To some degree IS goes on and off like AF does, but this is an exception, isn't it?
    • I couldn't find my manual so downloaded a PDF copy and did some searching.  From p146 of the manual, regarding Shooting Only stabilisation: "Image stabilization enabled only when the shutter button is pressed halfway (focus mode C) or the shutter is released." So it appears that the camera is 'working as intended' and that in AF-S the stabilisation mechanism kicks in only as you release the shutter. I think I would prefer it to activate on a half press, like it does in AF-C.
    • Sometime a short break can help to phrase things so that they do not sound annoying, Well that is the hope anyway, so here goes. Having that meter would be nice as well as having the histogram. But having them or not is a minor consideration in terms of what you are wanting to do because the app does not work with intervalometers. The only way you can get a time lapse sequence using the app is to manually click the shutter button, wait then click it again and so on. Even if the meter were there, you would need extremely fast reflexes to see and react to a lighting change by changing the settings and then going back to clicking the shutter button. Doing that for hours would be a feat indeed. The equipment you mention does this by analyzing several past images and predicting what settings to apply to the next incoming image. Right now the app has the live view which will tell you if an area is over or under exposed, but as far as what you are wanting to do without being able to connect the app to an intervalometer, well …
