Iphone6+ defective camerasensor pixel in 120fps mode - watch out

[Anti-Lucifer]

Everything except a white speck on the right of the screen!

OH - I see it now. You are probably having issues with that new sensor. Looks like stuck pixel - hot pixels are usually green/blue/red, however...i've never see hot pixels white though.

You know they can probably just run some software and sensor map the bad pixels to show up as black. But again, this is only for hot pixels.

 

[shabanggg]

You are lucky you have only one. Check if is visible on normal photo. I have 3-4

There's a few.

It's because it's a screen shot. It sort of flickers.

These are hot pixels! You believe they can solve this with software update?

 

[Trebuin]

Two pixels almost solid white, more spots than pixels.

Well, it's very normal to have quite a few of that many millions of pixels go bad. In DSLR sensors, they can map the hot pixels to black with a firmware update. I am sure if this is a continuing issue with this new sensor design, apple can apply a mapping of hot pixels in their next software update to resolve it. The best you can do is turn them black.

PS - you can get hot pixels when the sensor heats up and that's with low light/long exposure when more power is amplified to the sensor causing hot pixels. When you shoot pictures with adequate amount of light, there is not need to amplify the sensor pixels so you rarely see hot pixels with adequate light shots.

I wouldn't worry too much you have 8million pixels a few or cluster of them going bad is ok but if you see more and more occurring than that's an issue.

Any other people have this defect? Will apple replace it?
Is it possible to get a new with not hot pixel at all?

Yes, you can absolutely get a new one with zero hot pixels. It should only take opening about 25 boxes and returning them one by one til you find a perfect one. Apple would love nothing more than to empty their stock room to help you find a pixel perfect sensor. OTOH, maybe you can find someone who can see through cardboard and check the pixels on a camera that is powered off.

Do you expect a serious answer to that question?

To all you nervous nellies dying for a reason to find fault in your perfect devices and clog up the Genius Bars with this non-issue, just remember that the Motion Picture Academy will definitely overlook a couple of sparkly pixels...this heinous defect won't stop you from winning the Oscar for best 5 second slo-mo cat video of 2014, should you find yourself a nominee. So relax and let it go.

 

[Chrisxenofontos]

So you advise to just keep a phone with many pixels problems on a feature (slow motion) that apple advertise it as something really advanced!!

 

[shabanggg]

I can say that I opened up this particular iphone just today and I never even checked slo MO mode or any of the camera features for that matter. I have this thread to thank for that :/ this is Def an issue since it's clear as day in person (I know it may be hard to tell online)

Genius app for Monday.

..here I thought you guys were a bunch of whiners.

 

[Chrisxenofontos]

If hot pixels are not visible on daylight there is not any problem. But mine are visible on daylight too

I advise you to make your epic slo mo video and watch it. If you see pixels flashing and it bothers you, return it. No guarantees that the next one will be perfect.

 

[Chrisxenofontos]

My question is why I must have a defect camera sensor even if I will never use the sow motion mode? I had iphone 2G and all models till iphone 6+. I am not looking to find a reason to return the iphone

If you you don't have the pixels or you don't bother from them please leave other people to find a solution

So you're going to waste an afternoon, and the time of a Genius, and the time of someone with a legit problem who can't get an appointment because of you, because of a known typical defect that you would never have discovered on your own without reading about it? And until you discovered it on YOUR phone, anyone with the same issue was a whiner?

And people wonder why the earth is melting and we're running out of oil.

Better hurry and drive your SUV to the Apple Store and get your precious cinema device fixed so you can get back to not using slo mo. Better make another appointment for the next day too, when you find out the replacement device is the same or worse.

If you don't use the slo mo, the pixels CAN'T possibly bother you. But don't listen to me. Just drive yourself and Apple crazy until either you find the perfect phone or they blacklist you from returning.

 

[Trebuin]

I see more in 60fps video using movie pro

 

[Chrisxenofontos]

I tried to use and show the slow motion mode to some friends yesterday and found this pixels. Then I tried to find a solution or advise via mac rumors. Don't waste your time with us, go and a have a life! We don't!!!!

 

[Sharpanator]

True, but all the images people are posting that are suppose to show bad pixels are not viewable. All I see is a perfect black image.

because they show screenshots of the iphone, those pixels are visible in the recorded video and not only in complete darkness. It just needs a not so well illuminated room during daytime. I can see mine during the day when the area with the hot pixel moves in a darker object. You dont film the bright sky everytime so this can be an issue

 

[Chrisxenofontos]

Same here...even on daylight if there is a darker object I can see this pixels.

You cant map the hot pixels afterwards with a software update. The manufactor of the sensor map the dead and stuck pixels after the production in the firmware. Apple cant just release a new FW that solves the problem because every sensor has different hot pixels. The only way would be you send it in and they map the pixels.

Correct, I forgot that I had to send in my D3S back in the day to map out some hot pixels

 

[andyACEcandy]

I have one tiny one... don't think it's worth me trying to return the phone though.

I'd NEVER be able to tell in a normal slow mo video unless it was pitch black.

If I had maybe 3-5+, then I'd exchange

 

[Sharpanator]

on a DSLR its probably possible that the user map it but i doubt apple will give such a tool to the customers, you can ruin everything with it as well. And as far as i know you should not map hot pixels, only stuck ones. The most elegant way would be to just keep users away from filming at lower light and blocking the slow-mo function or showing an alert symbol that will disappear in good lighting. Of course there are some customers like me that can see the hot pixels in day light as well but they are harder to spot.

Oh actually I am notsure about that. My Olympus camerashad a Pixel Mapping feature for years... where the camera does all the magic by itself. Given the advanced software of the iPhone I think something like that should be possible here too.

Yes there are some cameras that detects stucked pixels automatically but im not sure if it should detect hot pixels because thise pixel usually work normal at low ISO ranges. I doubt that apple will write a camera Firmware that can do this. Would be simpler just to block the slow-mo feature at low light

 

[luigi408]

I see it on mine. There is one bright pixel that can be seen. There are maybe few more that flicker. I have AppleCare on my phone. I'll just exchange it next summer when Apple has fix manufacturing issues. I can live with this issue for now.

Tried it on my 5S and didn't notice any on that phone.

 

[Chrisxenofontos]

The same here. Check four iphone 5s.no hot pixels

 

[youknome]

Definitely checked 2 iPhone 5S' no noisy Touch ID and no weird pixels in slo mo.

Looks like it's just my iPhone 6, so getting that replaced on Tuesday and see if that is any better.
