Crumby’s Camera Pep Talk
Seems like the mirror may be fixing to come unglued again. As everyone knows, the mirror on Crumby’s E 330 is prone to come off at untimely intervals. Probably, Olympus got in a bad batch of glue that they used on Crumby’s model. The same glue was applied to the rubber. The rubber comes off too.
Yes. The mirror could be slightly out of adjustment due to loose glue, causing all my dang pictures to be slightly out of focus lately. Like this picture of this bug.
But what Crumby is actually discussing today are hot pixels. Hot pixels could potentially ruin your digital camera experience. Like in this example you may espy all those colored dots or spots at 100% magnification. Those dots or colored spots are about a gazillion, hot, stuck pixels. There’s no telling what causes those hot pixels, but there they are, making this out of focus (OOF) picture even worse looking than normal. Fortunately, Crumby’s Olympus camera features a utility that allows a semi-proud owner to map out all the hot pixels. You should, however, only use the hot pixel mapping feature once a year. And the year’s not up. Crumby is stuck with this batch.
Yes. Some camera models allow an average amateur photographer to map out the hot pixels. With other models though, the average enthusiast photographer must send the camera back to the manufacturer to get rid of the hot pixels. What a drag that would be! Goodness! Expensive too!
There is an additional bad or evil pixel problem known as pseudo hot pixels or luke warm pixels. These type pixels typically crop up in macro photography images where an average amateur photographer must employ flash to light up the nether regions of a particular vermin that is partially enveloped in stygian darkness. However, sometimes luke warm pixels can also show up on a vermin in natural light on a bright, sunny day.
For arguments sake, let’s say that vermin is a fly. Did you know that many flies are naturally oily or may have oily droplets scattered about on the vestiture? Furthermore, these oily droplets, may reflect light exclusively in a particular wave length, say red, thus imitating the behavior of a hot pixel. This is why your luke warm pixel is also known as a pseudo hot pixel.
