How To Fix A Dead Pixel On A Sony A7s

[Yomo]

I've had my Sony A7s for a year now and within the week of getting it noticed that I had a hot pink dead pixel smack dab in the middle of my sensor..I noticed this while reviewing footage after a long day shooting a short...

I was pretty upset but mostly just because my brand new camera had a dead pixel on literally the first thing I used it on

After doing some digging I found that the camera doesn't have a setting to fix this like other cameras but you can force the camera to remap the sensor which will remove the dead pixel

I made a quick video showing how to do so:

I've known about this for a year now but just never got around to making a tutorial

I've had atleast a dozen hot pixels so recommend doing this every time you are about to use the camera for a shoot

 

Hope this helps someone
