My wonderful D3X had so many of those , that it was as if it took pictures with built-in X-mas lighting...the D3S was not that much better.

I had already hunted down a program called " pixel-fixer ",when I stumbled over some advice.

Now , in RAW them pixels get fixed in developing , but not in J-peg , and I shoot both , RAW in 14 bit , j-peg in lower res. intended for media, but those coloured dots..

The " trick " is simply...

1) Put on lenscap , Close viewfinder blind.
2) Camera set to " M "
3) Select HIGHEST ISO ( I set it to H 2.0 )
4) Select Lowest Shutterspeed
5) Fire !!

It seems as if Camera switches off , wait for it...Shutter will Return , LCd `s light up , but wait !!...the Top-Lcd will flash.. " JOB-af " for a little while, then after it stops ...

Keep steps 1 and 2 and 4.

3) Select LOWEST ISO ( I set it to L1.0 )
5) Fire ...

Again it will seem as if Camera switches off , wait for it...Shutter will Return , LCd `s light up , but wait !!...the Top-Lcd will flash.. " JOB-af " for a little while ...

Upon Checking the Monitor, using High Magnification , You will see that Most coloured dots are gone , IF , there still are some , then they will be mute , and even under pixel peeping they `ll be hardly noticeable , as you would have to Enlarge substantially.

Perhaps this was posted before , but I have not seen it .

I apologise on beforehand if I have .." kicked in open doors "...
