I included a couple of pictures to show what I meant George. Basically there's a bright centre pixel surrounded by less bright pixels to the north south east and west, hence the + shape. There's a small cluster of one red, one green and two blue, and others scattered around the images.

As they don't show up on a dead pixel test, I could only guess that their appearance is light related. Some shots show these + spots loud and clear while others have no sign of them.

I'm having problems with my D*ist. I get + shaped coloured pixels on some images. They don't appear on a 'dead pixel' test (with lens cap on) but they appear in the same place on every shot that shows them - night shots in particular.

Are they down to sensor pixel problems, dust on the sensor, or???
