Burned Out Pixels - What is Normal for 1 Sec.

[Joe Taylor]

Last night I was shooting some footage using 1 Sec exposures @ 1 fps. However, because of the literally hundreds of fried pixels, the footage is unusable.

Is this normal or could I be having a sensor problem?

Try to do Black Shading after you go to 1sec .
It is good nows problem. Sow it is not sensor problem .

I've had the same problem.

Vigen is right. It's a known problem. Set your project settings and frame rate. Then do a black shading calibration. That will help clean it up a lot. But it won't eliminate all the hot pixels from long-exposure work. That's just an issue with the current Mysterium sensor.

Hopefully the upcoming DSMC cameras will do a lot better. For Scarlet / Epic to be a "DSLR Killer" they will need to be capable of true long-exposure work and 1s exposures are not going to cut it.

Hi Jeff,

What's the longest exposure you can do before it starts getting noisy?
