I recently purchased an EOSR5 ,. Its my first mirrorless camera. I love it but its doing something ive never seen before. Occasionally in dim light like at sunsets . I get a tiny dot or a few red dots . They appear in the lower right side . Then they appear again when i first open the image in Lightroom on my phone . They disappear slowly a few seconds after opening the image..weird i know ... i am thinking its a hot pixel but have never experienced this with my DSLR , the camera was purchased in September. Are hot pixels normal, or is this a sensor issue ? Bad sensor ? Should i send it it ? Or is it ok? I love the camera and hate to be without if its normal...i was hoping someone on here had a similar experience and solution or could tell me if its normal . Google said it was normal at higher iso.or in low light. thanks Bill

Hot pixels are normal. Go to the menu and select Clean now to map out the strongest ones. This is described in the camera manual. Open your manual, press Ctrl+F, and search for “cosmic rays.”
If you shoot in RAW format, RAW converters can also map out bad pixels -just as you described.
