I'm not 'new' to electronics, but since this is my first post I picked here. I have a Sony DXC-950 camera that has developed several 'dead' pixels. In the camera's menu, there isn't an automatic function for re-mapping dead or 'hot' pixels. Does anyone know if there's a software routine or anything that can be run somehow to identify and re-map these dead spots? I'd assume that since there is a 9-pin serial type connector normally used for RGB out that in some service mode it may be able to be used as an I/O port?? Their documentation of this problem leaves much to be desired and I don't have a service manual for this camera. I set up a couple of JVC industrial cameras at a community college and one of the first routines the installation manual suggested you run was the dead pixel re-mapper, since this is a common problem with CCD's. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
