Hot Pixel on my new Red Scarlett

[Chris Chitaroni]

I was just playing around with my scarlet tonight in my dark apartment and noticed that I had a hot pixel on the right hand side of the screen about halfway up... It isn't very noticeable in bright situations but in low light it sticks out like a sore thumb. So I went back and looked at some footage I shot 2 weeks ago at night and sure enough the hot pixel was there too... I received my camera just under a month ago so I've already contacted my bomb squad rep to try and get this solved but I wanted to see if anyone else had experienced this problem with their Scarlets?

If I run at a different temperature then normal or different shutter speed, i get "hot pixels" ... but for me they go away when I blackshade at the new temperature/shutter speed.

I had it happen once. It became extremely noticeable especially in low light situations. After black shading the problem went away. Hasn't happened since. Have you tried a black shade yet?

I have not tried a black shade, I will try that first thing tonight when I get home. Thanks alot guys! Hoping that's all it is.
