Possible Canon 7D fault?

[meady100]

Hi Guys,

Would anyone mind posting their opinion on this strange purple spot (just below and left of centre frame) on my 7D's (1 day old) video footage? There is no apparent problem with stills photos, and I have tried different lenses and it shows up on all of them. Do you think it needs sending back? By the way this footage is 1080P which seems to crash my windows media player, but plays fine with VLC etc. Please comment! Thanks...

You have a 7D. Nice.

I'm on my phone so can't check the video yet but it sounds like a hot pixel. There are ways of sorting it I think, have a search on POTN and there will probably be something.

Just watched the video, it's weird that your getting a hot pixel directly where the centre focus point would be, Are the photos 100% fine?
