How many not pixels in 6 month old camera body = warranty repair?

[DLS]

[QUOTE=conropl;67795]I have a 7D and have a lot of "dead" pixels (more than 10). I have always wondered if sunset shots (looking into the sun to long) or the long exposures that I like to do have made this worse. Like you, whenever I had a dark areas they would show up. It was getting irritating cleaning them up when I processed in dpp, but since I have been using LR this year, I do not even see them anymore because LR takes care of them automatically. [/QUOTE

Hi Pat. Where is the setting to remove hot pixels in LR? For long exposures I enable "Long Exposure NR" in my custom functions which does the trick very well. The trade off is, I have to wait about 15 to 20 seconds for the processing if my TV is, say, 25 second or so.

As cls said, it happens automatically. There is no turning it on or off (as far as I know). I notice it when I would open a raw image for the first time and I would see the dead/hot pixels only for a few seconds and then they disappere as the jpg preview gets fully loaded.
