Re: NX500 hot pixel mapping

Not sure if the NX500 is the same as the NX1 but in the (NX1) Service Manual it shows the pixel mapping process using a PC-based s/w app. There is nothing built-in unfortunately. This is too bad and one of the many reasons I ended up not staying with Samsung. One NX1 I received had a large cluster of stuck red pixels almost dead-center right out of the box. It was quickly returned for a refund after having lens mount problems with other new NX1's.

Digital cameras will have bad pixels over time and there's really no excuse for not including a built-in mapping tool. (Yes, it can be corrected in post but still this should be a common feature today as with many other cameras).
