Hi
This is about the 2100 but the principle is probably the same for all digcams.
I just got the 2100 today. I've been enjoying snapping away. I noticed though, that on long exposures w/o flash (2+ secs), there seem to be lots of red pixels all over... like 50?? this was done with the camera under a blanket basically, to test for dead/hot pixels since there is no lens cap.
EXCEPT FOR the same shot on the Fireworks scene setting gets no hot dead pixels and that's at 4 sec. All other normal around the house shots seem ok too but they are not longer than 2 sec exposures.. with or without flash
So would you say this camera is defective or normal?
Also on the EXIF data, it shows Noise Reduction as OFF. Where do I change that, or is that only for scenes?
I uploaded them (fullsize straight from the camera) to nikonnet, but I think it automatically resizes them so you may not be able to see the red pixels... they are mostly on the left side. actually they look like white dust specs at nikonnet, but at full size they are redish.
it might even be dust on the lens, but i hardly had it out 10 min. I'll get some compressed air and check that, but right now, I don't think that's it bec it would be there on all.
go to http://www.nikonnet.com , and click the "Albums" button.
