Re: Canon 500D stuck/hot pixels fix

Some cameras will map out bad pixels if you perform one or two consecutive sensor cleanings; so that's worth a try.
If you haven't done it here's the page from the manual:

If you're curious to document your bad pixels, particularly before/after trying this technique, contact me by email or Private Message (PM).
I have a statistical technique to objectively report bad pixels.

FWIW, sensors do "age"; one culprit is cosmic rays, they are rare but do damage pixels.
