So, about 1 year on from buying my E-1, I suddenly noticed...... ARGHH! a STUCK RED PIXEL!!!

the stuck pixel

The world is ending! I need a new camera! I have to search the web for horror stories about hot pixels!!!

And then, I remembered: a quick trip to the camera settings menu, select "Pixel Mapping", press ok, et voila, no more red pixel. Apparently Nikon & Canon owners, and quite possibly Pentax too (but maybe not Minolta) have to send their cameras to be serviced to accomplish this task. :-p
