Red Dots

[peterleyenaar]

I now have two red dots on my m8, one at the front and a second one in the extreme left upper corner of the lcd, does any ony else have this second dot ?
is this a dead pixel ?
It only shows on the information bar, not while displaying a full or enlarged image.

Best Regards

Black electricians (PVC) tape will fix one of them, and Ive seen people do this.

WOW! Given how much price premium that first Red Dot commands, your M8 must be REALLY expensive! 😉

Seriously though it's probably a stuck pixel, you'll have to decide whether it bothers you enough to send it in -- if it even qualifies as a defect given that stuck pixels are quite common, unfortunately.

Can anyone tell me what Leica's dead/stuck pixel policy is with regard to a new M8?

What, in the manufacturer's mind, constitutes unsuitable for sale.

try rubbing out the hot pixel on the LCD by applying pressure with your finger. If the a clear cover on the LCD, you'll need to remove that of course.

It's not a stuck pixel. It only appears when an image is being displayed and it's brightness depends upon the scene content. It's not present on any of the menu functions. I guess it's a quirk of the firmware.
