Not to be a know it all but I'm bored and this might be informative to someone...
There are two types of broken pixels, stuck pixels or hot pixels, and dead pixels.
A pixel consists of three to four sub pixels, of red, green, and blue. If a pixel is stuck, it means one or more sub pixels are stuck on. These tend to show up during night time shots. If the resulting pixel appears red, then the red pixel is stuck.
The opposite is a dead pixel, where one or more sub pixels are stuck off. These tend to show up with bright photos but are much harder to see against the bright colors in the image. Being the opposite, their color is also opposite of which sub pixels are stuck. So a red pixel in a white image means that blue and green are dead, for a yellow pixel it means blue is dead, since red and green make yellow.
Hope this is helpful to someone. |
