Well, it had to happen. I found a dead pixel on my new (3 days old) 5D MK II. It's worse as shutter speeds get below 1/15th second, and visible as a green dot in RAW images and a white dot when converted to JPEG or TIFF.


I _really_ don't want to go through the process of exchanging the camera if I can avoid it (and it doesn't help that the camera is in an almost constant state of backorder at B&H).


In searching these forums, I saw mention of a procedure called "dead pixel remapping", but there was no mention of how to do it. I looked in my manual and found no mention of this procedure.


Can anybody tell me how to do this dead pixel remap on a 5D MK II? Will this essentially cure the problem?


How do other people here feel about returning the camera verses the alternative?


Thanks in advance.
