Nikon D100 - Hot pixel removal utility and instructions
It may come unexpected: small red, sometimes also blue pixels appears on your latest nightlife pictures and there is just no way to aviod this. The reason: "Dead Pixels", sometimes called "Hot Pixels" on your CCD.
From the technical point of view, it is "normal" to have such dead pixels, keep in mind, that your D-SLR may come with 6 - 12 Million pixels. So, if you leaving your prefered digicam dealer with a brandnew D-SLR, this D-SLR already comes with dead or hot pixels, but there are "mapped" as such a unusable pixel (or disabled) by the vendor already.
Sooner or later, some more of your millions of pixels on the CCD will "die" (or become "hot"), so, the problem is now to disable (or map) this dead pixels also as unusable.
Most vendors of D-SLR's (like Nikon) offer this so-called "Re-Mapping" as service, but you have to send your D-SLR to them.
In the case of the Nikon D100, a small tool is available on the web to do such a re-mapping on your own (note: i'm note the author and i dont know the author...). But take care: you may destroy your camera, the CCD or portions of it, so, if you like to be on the save side, just send your D-SLR to the vendor.
btw: A common mistake here is to identify this "small red dots" as dead pixels instead of the result of typical picture noise.
If you doesnt have a Nikon D100 or you like to get an idea, how many dead pixels you have (or you just like to make sure, that your red pixels are no noise), you may use the following tool for this:
If the result of such an analysis is showing dead pixels and you're a lucky owner of a D100, you can use special tool to do this re-mapping on your own.
But first, read carefully:
- YOU DOING THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK !
- You may destroy the camera, the CCD or portions of this !
- IN NO EVENT WILL I BE LIABLE TO ANY PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR OTHER CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES FOR ANY USE OF THIS WEB SITE,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION.
IF YOU CANT LIFE WITH THIS, DONT CONTINUE and send the camera to your prefered support partner / vendor.
Software, Q50ImageAdjust / Q0050 Image Adjustment:
- Link removed, please leave a comment for download details.
Technical Requierements to use the Software:
- external power supply - You cant use the software without this. The original Nikon power supply is ~ $90. If you cleaning your CCD from time to time, you will need this sooner or later.
- PC running Windows 2000 / XP. I'm not aware of a Mac OS Version of this.
- USB connection between your D100 and the PC - just use the cable delivered with the D100 for this.
Before the question may arrive: As i know, this tool is not working with the Nikon D70. If you have other experiences, just post a comment.
Camera Setting:
- manual exposure mode ("M")
- manual focus ("M")
Steps in detail:
- 1) Set "USB Transfer" to "Mass Storage" (not PFP)
- 2) Set exposure mode to "M"
- 3) Set auto focus to "M"
- 4) Put the lens cap on your objectiv (IMPORTANT: avoid any kind of light falling into the camera)
- 5) Connect the external power supply
- 6) Cover up the hole camera (again: any kind of light insight of the camera must be prevented, otherwise the result may become falsified and this may damage the CCD)
- 7) Turn on the camera
If you're not sure about the connection between your D100 and the PC, you can check this using "Nikon Capture Control":
- 8) Launch "Q50ImageAdjustENG.exe", enable "CCD Defect Compensation", but DISABLE all other options:
- 9) Click "Start" .
Some messages may appear:
The program is now taking 3 shots and will analyse the result to find dead pixel.
The next dialog is showing you the result (amount and position of possible, dead pixels):
Now, it's up to you to disable this dead pixels or not, but dont be confused by the "unusual" translation of the next question: at this time, the result IN NOT YET written to the EEPROM of your camera:
If you choose "OK", the program will save the result to the EEPROM of your D100 which will disable this pixels for further shots.
That's it. Hope it is working for you too, it would be great if you post your experiences with this as comment. Thanks.

Hello,
I am joining the club of D100 owners with hot pixels. If have two very nice blue ones at this moment! So the question is similar to most posts here. Where to find the software?
Thanks for helping. Erwin
Could you send me the link for the download please if it is still available
...is there one for the collpix5000 anyone knows of?
any other utils for d100 would be nice too...cant see whay this is the only DSLR from Nikon that you have to get the service center to do updates.
Thanks in advance..Paul
Hey Erwin,
welcome to the club and check your mail.
;-)
Hello Paul,
i've seen a tool for the Coolpix 5000, check http://jancology.com/blog/archives/nikon/
regards, Mathias
Mathias,
Thanks again for sending the utility.Worked without any problem! 37 hot pixels removed
Asked Nikon USA a quote for doing this. They came up with about 270$. If you consider that this takes them less than a minute of work, you start wondering what they mean by 'Service' ???
Sound very good, Erwin.
Have fun with your D100.
regards, Mathias
Mathias, I would very much like to get a copy of your hot pixel removal software. If you are still providing this software I would be very pleased to receive a copy. Thanks, Mike
Thank for the software

How does the information from the dead pixel get replaced? Does it interpolate from other pixels around it?
Mathias, would you please send me the Q0050 Image Adjustment Tool? (Q50ImageAdjust)
Anyone tried on a D70 successfully ?

Coul you pls send me a zip-version of the hot pixel removal tool?

Peter
Dear Mathias,
I have a D100 and was wondering if you could send me a Zip version of Q50ImageAdjust. I appreciate your help.
Sincerely,
Bob Lui
Mathias,
thank you so much for sending me the hot-pixel removal utility. My D100 developed two really problematic "blue spots" over the years and I've been hesitant to spend $200 to have Nikon remap them for me given that the camera is nearing the end of its useful life anyway. Your utility did a great job - it turned out I had a total of 37 hot pixels and only two were present when the camera was factory new.
On a side note, I was able to use the software without an external PS - the battery grip with two fully charged batteries did the job.
Needless to say, I'm very much obliged.
Best regards,
Matthew
I also would like a copy of this utility.
Can I get a copy of the program please. Thanks.
Sounds very good, Matthew !
Can you please send me a zip version of the software? Thanks!
Hi,
please give me the download instructions.
-Peter
Hi There,
This sounds just what im looking for, is there a MAC version or is it windows only? any way windows will do.
Many thanks
Geoff
Hi Georg,
no, i'm not aware of a MAC Version of this.
regards, Mathias
I could really use the Q50ImageAdjust. I have over 20 stuck pixels. They suddenly have mulitlplied in the last week alone. A bit like bunnies.
John
Mathias,
Could you please send me the removal utility in ZIP format? I have two D100's and both have a couple of dead pixels. Thanks. Looking forward to trying it out.

Thank you in advance
Best regards,

Hi Mathias,
Can you send me your utility or a link to it ?
Many thanks in advance.
Michel.
BTW : why do we need the power supply ? My understanding is that the only reason is to be absolutely sure there is no power loss during the Eprom programming. I have been cleaning my sensor with no power supply up to now. Just made sure the batteries were fully charged.
Can you please send me that program?
Hi,
check your mail for the link. Power supply: It's just to be on the save side, you know. I've got the feedback from someone, that the tool may work without the power supply, but i have'nt tested this so far, so i cant confirm this.
kind regards, Mathias
Hi,
I would greatly appreciate if you could e-mail me the software.
Thank you,
Tom Stachura
I'd like you to send me the hot pixel remapping program for the D100.
Thanks
Grant
Would you be kind enough to send a copy of the q50imageadjust program.
Dankeschoen
Interesting utility you have written, I have recently had three rather prominent defective pixels show up.
What bothers me is that they are somehow a bit intermittent if that is the right term. They do not show up in long exposures where in-camera noise reduction corrects them, suggesting that in-camera firmware has potential smarts to circumvent these. I hope Nikon is listening.
I have put up a page discussing my issues, specifically that the hot pixel appears to be affecting neighboring pixels. I would like to determine if this is due to in-camera processing or something physical in the CCD.
{ Link }
Your re-mapping utility may help me determine this.
Thanks for your help, research, and programming.
-Ron Gross
Thanks Ron, for the update and the link.
kind regards, Mathias
Would you please send me a .zip copy of your remapping software for the D100.
Under what conditions could the camera be damaged using this program?
Thanks
I am interested to get a copy of the program. I have a D100 and have about 20 or more dead pixels and would like to eliminate them with mapping.
If you could be so kind as to send me a copy of the program, I would very much appreciate it.
Sincerely,
-R. Berry

Your hot pixel remapping software (Q50 Image Adjust) for the D100 worked great. Removed 29 hot pixels. It was easy to do.
Thanks,
Wayne
Hey Wayne, sounds good ! Have a great time with your D100...!

Please send the link to the hot pixel removal utility, Q50ImageAdjust. Thank you. I posted a message a few months ago, perhaps you missed it. See { Link }
-Ron
Mathias,
Just found your website. Have had my D100 since August 2003. Never given me any trouble, but a week ago a very noticeable blue hot pixel(s) very near center of all images. It is there including when lens cap is on. Can it be true, I can fix this myself? I would love to give it a try. Would like to download or receive Q50ImageAdjust. Thanks in advance.
David
Matthew,
I was just testing my new 18-200 VR lens, when I noticed a significant number of stuck pixels on the pictures. When I snapped a few with the lens cap on it was apparent that there were more than a few. When I googled the D100 stuck pixel subject I came upon this site and the dicussion of your Q50ImageAdjust program. I would appreciate it if I could get a copy of your program in zip format for Windows XP.
Thanks in advance,
Steve
Please send me the pixel remapping software.
Mathias,
Thanks very much for the program. Very easy to use. I used my MBD100 battery pack with fully charged EN-EL3 batteries, instead of AC power. Had no problem. I had one very bad hot pixel near the center and a couple of smaller ones around outer edge. The whole process took only a few minutes, and now they are gone. Thanks very much.
Please send the link to the hot pixel removal utility, Q50ImageAdjust. Thank you.
Please e-mail utility. Thanks a bunch
Mathias: Please be so kind as to send me your much-praised hot pixel tool. Do you happen to know if it works with the D200?
Much Thanks

Please send hot pixel fix for my d100. Thanks, Dave
A few days after posting, I received an email from Mathias with a download link but the link was dead. I replied to the email and mentioned the dead link but no response yet (after 3 days).
What should I do now? Why is this process so mysterious?
Hello David,
sorry for the mysterious process. I'm travelling a lot, so i'm not able to check all comments and personal messages every day, sorry for that. I'll send you an updated link soon.
regards, Mathias
My D100 has had a hot pixel since the day I bought it. Always bugged me but never enough to get it fixed. Maybe you've got the answer in this Q50 utility. Let's give it a try. Best, dc
Please send link. Thanks!
I have at least one hot pixel on my D100 CCD which I would like to remove. Please send me the link to the application.
Many thanks!
I've just run your tool and it worked perfectly first time.
I didn't bother with AC power, ran the tool whilst using a fully charged EN-EL3 battery pack, and had no problems at all.
Now I can take hot-pixel free images!!
Thank you so much! :-)
Could you please send me this wonderful utility? Thanks a lot.
I have one hot pixel on my D100 CCD at the center of the image which I would like to remove. Please send me the link to the Q50ImageAdjust Utility, many thanks.

Hi,Mathias
I want to know if it works with the D200?
Hi mathias,
Got a Nikon coolpix 5700. Worked nicely for a year. Now when I start it I see a blank screen on the monitor which though shows all the settings. In the playback mode I can view all my clicked pictures.I am told that it is a CCD problem. Would the software Q50ImageAdjust / Q0050 Image Adjustment solve the problem. Please do mail me the software and a solution/suggestion besides sending it to nikon service. Thanks in advance
Thanks for your article. I have D100 and have lots of hot pixels to fix. Would you be able to send me the program via email or let me know the link to download from? Thanks very much!
I have a strange problem with one of my D100's. Perhaps someone has better expertise than I do?
Here are the symptoms and problems;
There are 5 flexible ribbon cables attached to the "Compression" PC board which is accessed directly beneath the SLR's base cover. With the "Compression" board connected to all 5 ribbon cables the DSLR does not function at all. Nothing lights up or works whatsoever.
When 4 of 5 ribbon cables are connected and the cable connected to the "Main FPC" IS NOT connected, the shutter fires in all 4 modes, the data in the viewfinder is present and correct, autofocus works in all 3 modes, the flash works, the autofocus illuminator works, the Control Panel indicates data and the clock icon is flashing. The CSM icon is on. The brackets for remaining exposures is present but empty.
The things that do not work:
The DSLR does not recognize a storage card and the Monitor does not function at all. When the Autofocus Area Selector is unlocked and changed, the Control Panel doesn't indicate a change. Connecting the USB cable to the camera and a PC, the connection is made.
If there's a hint of a chance that this is a bad Compression board I'd buy a new one. I understand they're about $250.00. My problem is buying it and it's not the problem or buying one and it gets damagged because something else is wrong.
Any help provided would be greatly appreciated.
Thsnk you,
Tracy Stein
Chicago, IL
I'm proud to own a D200, but never tested this tool with it. It's very likely not working !
kind regards, Mathias
And to think I sent the camera away to have this problem fixed (the work order said replace CCD) and now a year later - more blue blowout pixels. Where is the software? Thanx in advance
Please email the utility file, or the link to it.
Thanks,
Mitch
Followed instructions, and ran utility. My D100 now will not take any pictures! I am taking legal action!!

Hi Mathias
I don't know if u can help me. My camera suddenly starded to have several white horizontal stripes in the new pictures, making them useless. I don't know if it is the CCD or something else. It doesn't make any difference changing the type or size of the image, or any other change. Do u have a clue?
Thank's
Hi,
sorry for no better news, but i have no clue what's the reason for this, i guess you have to contact a Nikon service center.
kind regards, Mathias
Will you be making a D200 version?
Please send me the link to the pixel tool
Cory
I am very interested in the pixel mapping utility. Might extend the usefull life of my d100, which is severely plagued by hot pixels.
I already sent an email to the webmaster, but it may not have reached you or you might not be home.
many thanks,
jimmy
ANy chance this pixel mapping utility is still available for the D100? I sure could use a copy.
Thanks,
Mark
Hi, can you please send me the hot pixel removal software. thank you.
Hello, would like to have the file Q50ImageAdjust. Thanks.
Hello Christopher,
regarding your comment / question about a "D200 version" of the "hot pixel removal utility": I'm not the developer of this tool, i guess the tool was developed by Nikon Japan for service reasons, so, i does'nt have any further documentation about the tool. I'm sure, this version will not work with the D200.
Sorry for no better news.
best greetings, Mathias
I was on vacation for some weeks, sorry for the delay, check your inbox for the link.

Hi there! :o)

Please, can You make version for Nikon D200?
Hello

Thank you very much
Hello,
I have now tried it on my D100 and it seems to have cured all the hot pixels :) I bought a power supply as the instructions demand it, but that was perhaps not necessary? Would a fully charged battery be just fine?
Hi can you please send me this utility please. Thanks a lot!
Never mind, I've found it here: { Link }
Please send the hot pixel removal utility.
Thank You,
Dmitriy
Thanks for the awesome guide. My camera is now good as new, no more hot pixels.
Vegard: I only used my vertical battery grip (with two D100 batteries) for the operation and the program didn't complain. Judging on the period of time the operation took, I think one full battery would be enough.
Yes, Richard, that's true. Fully charged batteries are enough.
I'm not aware of a D200 version of it, same for D40, D50, D70, D80, D200.
kind regards, Mathias

Hi Robert,
Would you know if this program exists for the Fuji S5 Pro ? I think there will be a lot of demand for it given Fuji's poor support (or is it my experience) Maybe I could contact the programmers to find out about this ?
Thanks.

Thanks alot man you have made me a very very happy man!
and for the people who got the error "error no=69 The number of crack detection exaggerated error" i also got this a fist but today it just worked.

error no=69 The number of crack detection exaggerated error means that it's detecting too many bad pixels, in my case the Auto-ISO adjust had to be turned off. I'd also turn off the noise reduction and other exposure adjustments. Although it sets the camera to RAW mode so some settings will not have an effect. If you can't find the utility on the Internet(it's still there if you search for Q50imageadjust in google) then send an email to firstnamecam@oepping.com but replace the 'firstname' with my firstname. :)
Could you please send me this utility? Thanks a lot!
Hello,
I am also looking for the software - please let me know where to find it - or e-mail me directly.
Kind Regards and Dankeshon
Dave
I too am in need of this software
hey great post where can I find the DL
Great posting and utility. Taking pictures of my Christmas lighting display just got a whole lot nicer!
Note for the Error 69 posting people... I had the same issue until I turned off Auto ISO in the menu. After that, it only found 24 pixels and fixed them all.
Thanks again!
You can find a zip file of the tool here { Link }
BUT check first to see if its really dead/hot pixels by turning on Long Exposure Noise Reduction. If they clear up with that on when doing long exposure then they aren't dead/hot pixels, they are colour noise that occurs during long exposure on the D100.
I am trying to figure out whether deterioration rate of my D100 CCD is something normal or not. I got 9 new hot pixles within 6 month (when I ran the Q0050 tool for the first time 6 month ago it fixed 59 hot pixels). Is it very bad? What do you think? Thanks in a advance!
Could you please send me the software q0050?
Could you please send me the software q0050 ghao98@hotmail.com

Hi,
Just wanted to say a sincere thank you for providing this information. I've run the software and my camera is taking flawless images once more...if only I was as good as the camera :)
I actually discovered the problem after I took some long exposure shots of a log fire and noticed a whole load of R,G or B spots all over the image. In total there were around 160 "hot" pixels, which have now been corrected.
I was just wondering why you would need to connect the AC adapter since the process took only about 1-2 minutes for me.
Anyway, once again thank you so much!
Greetings from Belgium!
