dead pixel correction without lens cap attachment?

[tehn]

Someday, I found a white pixel in the center of my pictures.

So, I remembered that there is a menu about dead pixel.

But, I did dead pixel correction function without lens cap attachment.


According to user's manual, the correction without lens cap may correct alive pixel instead of dead one.

How can I fix this problem ?


plz help me.

Did you try repeating with the cap on?

I think there is no need to worry. I'm certain I have done this in the past (no lens cap) on my R-D1 with the upgraded firmware to R-D1s, as there are no instructions on this in my manual as it wasn't available in the earlier firmware.

Dead pixels seem corrected OK and I have never noticed any adverse effects to live ones.

Thanks to georgef and Jim for your advices.

Hello, by the way do you think that it makes any sense to select ISO 1600, instead of a lower ISO, before launching the hot pixel correction?
Thanks for your advice.

Thats what I do as any stuck/dead pixels are more obvious at this ISO.
