https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Point-Shoot-Digital-Cameras/Canon-PowerShot-V1-and-Hot-and-Stuck-pixels-issue/m-p/606015#M21196 <P>I bought a PowerShot V1 camera half a year ago, during which time 4 hot/stuck pixels appeared, a couple of them are very bright. How can I correct this deficiency? I live in the Philippines and bought a camera on the SHOPEE platform and as it turned out, my camera was sent from Hong Kong and released for the Hong Kong market. After contacting the service center in the Philippines, I was denied warranty service. It seems that the problem is small and you need just to remap a few pixels, but this camera does not provide such an opportunity to do this yourself.</P> Thu, 27 Aug 2026 12:59:46 GMT yurakgn 2026-08-27T12:59:46Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Point-Shoot-Digital-Cameras/Canon-PowerShot-V1-and-Hot-and-Stuck-pixels-issue/m-p/606015#M21196 <P>I bought a PowerShot V1 camera half a year ago, during which time 4 hot/stuck pixels appeared, a couple of them are very bright.
