Hi Chings, I have problems with my 5D Mark II. When shot some night shots, I found the light dots in the picture. I change to other lens, the dots are still there at the same positions. I thought it is dust in the sensor. I followed the instruction manual to try to blow it off and dust delete data. However, both didn't work. For day light shots, i can hardly find the light dots. Don't know what happen to the censor. Not sure if it is like the LCD panel with "dead dots". Very worry. Just want to if anyone of you have the same experience and how to rectify that.

do you have photo to illustrate the "spot"? i think it's better for you to send to CS for inspection.

Let's share your photo for reference. Thanks.

Is it talking about the "black dot" issue?? If so just simply update the firmware.

Marksman Ching,

Kenneng Ching is talking about "night shots" not "black dot" .
I think go to CS checking is better.

IC, thanks!

I checked with CS. they said it was the CMOS properties especailly when you have long exposure shots. I checked also on the web, this is what they called the hot spot of CMOS. Seems like nothing we can do, but to avoid shooting for long exposure shots.

u use the function of long exposure noise reduction to recduce the problem.
