I can't decide if my camera's display screen has problems with hot pixels, dead pixels, or some other problem entirely. Red/Green/Blue pixels showing up on a black background means they're hot pixels, right? If that's the case, why do their positions change when I take another picture? They're supposed to show up on any solid color field, correct? So...why do they only show up against black?

clean your lense

Uhh I don't think cleaning the lens will fix that.

I have these too. Do they show up more if you use longer exposure? Do they show up more if you use higher ISO? If any of the above is true, it's probably hot pixels. These are common, and there's not much else you can do about this except warranty - in which case they'll only map out the pixels, not give you a new CCD.

Umm... if they're showing up on a higher ISO they're natural. Least on lower end cameras.
However an E20 is a digital SLR correct? Or am I thinking Nikon? If it's an SLR make sure it's not just the lense. If it's a camera with a non-replaceable lens, then just fiddle with the settings a bit, it should go away. Finally if THAT doesn't work, you may have to replace it.

Disregard the exif. The camera in question is my D80.

They don't affect the final image at all, and they're barely noticeable in general, so I won't be bothered trying to get the factory to re-map it. I just wanted to know if they were hot pixels like I thought.
