Hi, I did some research on nx cs file a few years ago. I could look it up if you want. I remember disabling wifi and changing the MAC address with it.

I would advise against it as it's possible to mess up and there are no more service centers available.

Hi Otto,

yes, I remember those discussions here, addressing various unofficial modifications of NX1/NX500, lead by you and Vasile, e.g.
https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/57344758
https://github.com/ottokiksmaler/nx500_nx1_modding

... but if I remember correctly, none of those was dealing with hot pixels removal. I will be grateful to you if you find something which can help. The standard method of removing hot pixels by dark frame subtraction can't be directly applied to longer astro-timelapses, as the shooting settings and conditions change throughout the night, so getting rid of the permanent hot pixels would help a lot.

Thanks,
Martin
