ISO 400, 1/10 and f/5.6

1. Shoot raw and let the raw converter deal with hot pixels.

2a. Try the sensor cleaning method.

Go to the menu, sensor cleaning and Clean now. This is the official way for 5D IV and R5 to deal with hot pixels.

2b. This was the unofficial way with 7D/6D. Keep the lens cap on the lens and cover the viewfinder. In the menu, start Clean manually and wait for one minute until you turn off the camera. Repeat two or three times if first time doesn’t work.
