Hi,
For the last 3 days, I have tried my new Sony S-70. Last night, while reviewing the photos in Photoshop, I remarked that 4 very subtil round dots of 15 pixels in diameter where present at the same exact locations on some of the 640 X 480 snapshots taken previously. To verify, I made a test by photographying a white sheet. On the neutral grey result, the dots were present at the exact same locations. I repeated the test, the same...The dots are just a little darker than the adjacent color(s). On a 100% scale I would put it, at the very most, depending of the situation, to be 1% darker. When to colors are very bright, I don't see the dots but...is this normal? I am new to digital camera but not new to photography and Photoshop. Could it be a problem with de CCD chip? Should I return the camera? I am surprised, this is such a splendid tool.
Any advice will be welcomed.

Re: Am I having a problem with my Sony S-70
Tiny dust particles on the lens can show up like this. You may not even be able to see them by looking at the lens itself. Try giving the lens a good cleaning with a Lenspen (Which you can pick up at any camera store) before taking it back. SInce the spots show up in the same locations it would argue for some fixed specs somewhere. Dead pixels usually show up as points of color instead of diffuse dark patches but a dust particle (out of focus) can do that.
We know that you can see strange "flying Saucers" when there is dust in the air and you use the flash.

Re: Am I having a problem with my Sony S-70
Francois,
First make sure you ddin't buy a Nikon 990...once that's confirmed,
take your S70 back! It sounds like you did all the correct tests to verify the pixels. I also did the test and my S70 passed with flying non-colors.
If you 've only had it for a couple of days exchange the thing for a brand new
one. Prove your point and have a photo ready of the dead pixels.
good luck!

The no crank/no start can be due to a number of things ...
This video link reviews several reasons (relays/ignition switch/etc) ... but for the Chevy in the video it turned out to be the starter solenoid...

Good luck on your troubleshooting
How old is your battery? Keep in mind rechargeable Li-Ion batteries aren't meant to last more than a couple years, regardless of whether they've been used or not. If yours is as old as your camera, I think you know the answer. The good news is there are many inexpensive generic alternatives available these days. Some are very good, and vice versa. Research the buyer reviews before considering purchasing.
hello.+ over voltage protection (OVP), unit goes to the standby mode then
displays the 3 blink fault. This is also a problem in the power supply
circuit, check T603 and R672.
hi try to reset ur camera...To do such reset, turn on the camera and
hold the menu button down for longer than 5 seconds. A message should
hopefully come up on your LCD asking if you want to reset the camera.
Select Yes... thank u!!! rate me!!
before unplugging any usb device from the computer... it is best to safely remove before unplugging the device...
i used to just unplug before i lost over 200 pics. was able to recover using recovery software but the whole process took about 3 hours to do. since using safe remove.. not a single loss
some pros suggest formatting the card on regular basis to also clean the card of file fragments... but once card is formatted, the pics are not recoverable... be careful
Yes. That is normal. You can change that or switch it to a desktop picture (background) altogether. Update 2.2 came out last night and will enable BD-Live and better web-browsing. Good luck!! :)
where to put the paper? There's a manual that comes with this printer, that clearly shows how to open this up, and add paper. I'd recommend you review that first. You may be thrilled when you find it
If the LCD is "smeared" in record mode, it isn't the memory stick or any of the other solutions you've been offered.
It's one of the following, I would guess:
1) condensation in the camera
2) loose or bad connector to the CCD or power supply
3) Camera is history. Hit eBay and get a new one
BTW, It costs about $175 for repair by Sony (at least the last time I had a repair done on a 717). It's probably worth it as long as the rest of the camera is in good shape. Definitely cheaper than buying a new one or a used one.
Sorry about your problem...
