Olympus E-400 Pixel Mapping
We have already seen the pixel mapping function in several generations of cameras. This function enables the Olympus E-400 to check the image sensor and image editing functions, and adjust them where necessary. Generally, the pixel mapping function will not have to be used often, Olympus recommend using the pixel mapping once a year. Before the function is activated, the camera requires a one minute wait if the monitor has been used, or if you have captured images continuously.
Will monitor how my camera performs - this is the first time in 4 and a half years that I've encountered any issues with my E400 - I have fired off a few shots with it too.....
Been an expensive few months, so lets hope that this cures the problem, or I'm on the hunt for an E3.....

Came across a good bargain on Ebay - E-3 body, used, with all accessories that you'd get as new, under the £400 mark. It's 4yrs old, has done 16,000 shutter actuations but worth the gamble. And I don't need a whole new set of lenses either!

Excellent news. I believe the pixel mapping reads the sensor many times. When it finds the same "flaw" in every shot, the software eliminates that pixel and interpolates its replacement.Turbogirlie wrote: 5 months on & several images later, still no hot pixel!

I'm happy that I found an easy home fix, without extortionate dealer prices & being without my camera for weeks on end whilst it gets sent around the world for repairs........
